You get 9 Points. The first report is better.

If you can live with 9 points i.e Total = 67 points or more you should be able to sail through.

As per my agent my points are as follows :
Education 20 points
Experience 21 points
Age 10 points
Husband 4 points
He had given me 16 points for language, so the total was 71 points. But as i got 6 in listening, 4.5 in reading, 6.5 in writing and 6 in speaking overall band scores goes to 6 points so he told me to minus the 16 points which he gave me for language, and he says it is now 8 points so the overall goes to 63 points (71-8=63) i cannot understand how the points are calculated, can you please brief me as to how much i have got points as per the above calculation. Awaiting for a reply and thanks for the earlier message.

for your first attempt you have "9" points
for your second attempt you have "7" points
its better to use first one
