But as she is main applicant right now, i can't help much more even i get clb9. Anyway in half year i will take it again if she don't get clb9 within this period, as i will be the main applicant.

I am in the same situation. Turned 30 in Jan 2017 and had to make my wife the primary applicant. Given IELTS 4 times now. Lost by 0.5 in writing in 2 attempts. 0.5 in listening in 1 attempt and again by 0.5 in reading in the last attempt. Currently at 388 points. L8 S7 R7 W7 will get us to 432 and stand a chance of getting ITA. All the best to all taking the test in 25th March. This will my wife's 5th attempt.
I turned 30 in feb 2017 and entered the pool last week. My wife has a masters and got clb 9 in her first attempt. I got full points from her language and education

Thanks for the wishes. I got 7.5 in the first attempt without any prep and was confident that by an hour practice I would get 8. Didn't happen. My overconfidence came back to bite me. I took things seriously between the 4th and 5th attempt with daily consistent practice. Before that I took things too lightly as for me it was just an English exam.

I did mine with a prep of under 10 hours (in total) and this time I'm focusing on a book called Common mistakes at IELTS advanced ... and how to avoid them and I noticed I made a lot of mistakes which I wasn't aware of.
Hopefully this time I get my CLB 9.
BTW, how much time was between your 4th and 5th attempt? Like a month or so?
I gave 1 every month from October to February. Pls don't read mistakes and you will end up remembering mistakes. Work on what to do rather than what not to do.
