would a higher score give you more points towards your required total, or is it just a PASS/FAIL situation for your plans?

It seems i need 67 points, wherein i currently have only 62. I wanted to check is there any other way to avoid a re-test and just go with the current score ?

If you are planning on applying for FSW when this stream re-opens in May to applicants without job offers, then your IELTS score is too low to qualify. You need to re-take the test.

Thanks scylla,

Another clarification,

How much do you think will i be needing now to qualify for the same ? 8 overall ? as in a mix of 7 & 8 bands in each ?

What if i make my spouse appear for IELTS and manage to get 6.5 to 7 ? will that add any points to my application rather than me re-taking the test ?
