Alternative English Tests
The DIBP have announced how the scores for the new English tests (due to be accepted sometime in November, date still to be announced) will be benchmarked against IELTS.
I have provided a comparison of the scores in a table on my website along with a list of visas for which these tests can be used (NB does not yet include SC457).

Re: Alternative English Tests
There are other English tests that you can take instead of IELTS, but you need to prove that you have competent English. The link in TeeTMI's post will show you the scores required if you take TOEFL iBT (Test of English as a Foreign Language Internet Based Test) or PTE Academic (Pearsons Test of English Academic). NAATI provide a test for people wishing to claim points for an additional language and not for English.

For Proficient (10 points) these scores would need to be 24, 24, 27 and 23; and 28, 29, 30, 26 for Superior (20 points)

Re: Alternative English Tests
That's a bit confusing to follow - are you asking if Engineers Australia will accept a TOEFL ibt score instead of IELTS?

Re: Alternative English Tests
The way you have written it, it sounds like a very rude demand

Re: Alternative English Tests
I looked at the EA website and they only seem to recognise IELTS at the moment - if I remember correctly, you need BAND 6.

Re: Alternative English Tests
Mr Patel, it seems your english is letting you down even asking for help on here. I would recommend taking a short english course before paying to take the Immigration english test as it is not something someone should do 'off the cuff' if it is not that person's first language.
Kind regards

Re: Alternative English Tests
Adam guy is correct. You are not ready for any English test, take some classes first and learn the language. You will not be able to function when you get here otherwise, it will be a good investment for your future in Australia.
