DEAR ALL,
MY IELTS SCORE IS R-6.0, W-6.5, S-6.0, L-6.0 HOW MANY POINT I GET 16 OR 17 AS PER NEW POINT SYSTEM. I HAVE 1 POINT SHORTAGE IF 6.5 POINTS IN IELTS CAN GET 5 POINT THAN I WILL APPLY AGAIN AND GET 6.5 IN ANY TWO MODULE AND 6 IN ANOTHER TWO. PLEASE GUIDE ME IN THE MATTER
I agree that if you're absolute borderline on 67 points, it is always better to try to improve your IELTS score to grant you a few extra points.
You have until May this year and this should be enough time to schedule and take another test. Worst case scenario the results are worse, so you just send the original results and you are no worse off.
Retake it, per your score it seems that you can easily do better.
If you are married, another option would be that your spouse takes the IELTS since only a CLB 4 score is required to get 5 additional points.
