occupational therapist with only 55 points
my sister is 29 with only 2 years work experience
she has done the oz ot registration and did the academic ielts but got 7s and 8s so only 10 points there, 15 for degree and 30 for age.
she did the toefl to see if it was any easier but still not enough, she is going to try the ielts again the general one this time.
so is her only options keep trying test to get the extra 10 points to 65 for 189
or state nomination at 60 points for 190
she is going over to perth next month on a working holiday visa but it might limit her employment options. it also seems like w.a state wants 3 years experience for nomination but other states 2 years. if she gets more work experience in oz it only gives her an extra 5 points.

Re: occupational therapist with only 55 points
yes she will be traveling around but doesnt really want to commit to one state that might not have any jobs, is the general ielts any easier than academic?

Re: occupational therapist with only 55 points
I couldn't comment on IELTS - I did the academic test as it was quicker to get a place on (both times - had to repeat due to 7.5 on listening the first time (straight after a night shift)). What were your sister's scores on her previous IELTS?

Re: occupational therapist with only 55 points
i dont know exactly i think it was the writing that was the lowest, it did say superior english on her results but when she put it in the eoi form it said it was proficient as it took the lowest score i think.
i think she did that pte academic aswell not toefl.
2 years is not to bad so you can change from one state to another if there were nothing.
yes i suppose the lists might not accurately reflect actual vacancies.
like n.t you only need 1 year experience so it seems like there is a real shortage there
but job adverts seem to show perth.
