I'm planning on applying for Express Entry in 2022 at earliest (I'll likely graduate college a year early in 2021 and get an eligible job right off the bat due to majoring in CS).
I'm planning on taking the IELTS as opposed to the CELPIP because there's actually a test center less than 6 hours driving distance from home. I'm wondering how hard it would be for me to get an 8.5 listening, 8.0 reading, 7.5 writing, and 7.5 speaking considering these factors:
I know SAT English isn't the exact same as the IELTS, but since it's also a standardized test for English skills, I figure it might as well be worth mentioning.

- Being a native English speaker
- My SAT scores from a couple years ago:
- 730 Reading/Writing (97th percentile at least at the time)
- 6 on all 3 essay score components (distribution is wonky so I'll post an image below)
