Got higher Ielts band but my CRS score went down

[ibrahimalnemeh]

For two years I had 450/445 CRS score.My ielts score was L8/R8.5/W7/S.7 Band 7.5 CLB 9. A month after my Ielts expired, invitation scores went down to 441. So I redid IELTS and got total band 8 (L7.5/R8/W7/S9) But my CRS score went down to 395!..is that just because I missed 0.5 in Listening?

Yes it is because of listening. for CLB 9 you should score 8 in listening.

I thought so but It doesn't make sense when I have 2 CLB 10 and one 9 and one 8...I guess I have to retake again

It makes all the sense to me. You had 50 scores for your skill transferability which you lost by scoring less in listening. You will have to retake IELST.

Good luck !
