CLB Points Question

[2nose]

Hello,
I have the IELTS--CLB points conversion chart in front of me. I was under the impression that in order to achieve a certain CLB score for the FSW criteria, you needed to achieve the minimum in all four areas, i.e. a 6.5, 7.5, 6.5, 6.5 gets you a CLB 8 and a score of 20, but if any of those scores should be a 6, then it becomes a CLB 7 with a score of 16. My friend is telling me that this is wrong, and that you determine the points by scoring each section individually. I thought you only did this when calculating the Express Entry language points.

Another example, just so I know that I am no misstating myself.

A CLB 9 is achieved by at least a 7/8/7/7 (24 points). If I were to get scores of 7/7.5/7/7, I now have a CLB 8 (20 points).

Which is correct? Remember I am only speaking of the initial 67 FSW points calculation.

Thank you very much for your help.

Each language skill score is calculated separately.

clb 9 or 8 or 7 are calculated on each module separately..........for example, if u get 9 bands on listening its clb 10 and if u get 6.5on writing its clb 8 on writing and u get respective points for the same.

If u get 6 on a module doesnt mean u cant get clb 9 or more on any other module.

Hope this helps.

Each language skill score is calculated separately.

Exactly. Each of the 4 categories falls in its own band and gets you a separate score.

You then add up the 4 scores for each section to get your total language score.
