Hey, You just need to get 8777 bands in IELTS and your score will boost at least to 440 and higher. I gave my IELTS exam three times to get that score but it was so worth it. I got my PPR request in just 43 days after submitting the application. Let me know if you have any questions.

Yes. It does. You don't really need 8777 but the higher you get, more will be the points added in language section of spouse. I would advise you to give British exam as this is what I have observed, IDP gives 6.5 in at least one module but I got the bands in British. Here are my exam results -

IDP attempt 1 -
Listening - 9
Speaking - 8.5
Writing - 6.5
Reading - 7.5

IDP attempt 2 -
Listening - 9
Speaking - 9
Writing - 7
Reading - 6.5

British attempt 1 -
Listening - 8.5
Speaking - 8
Writing - 7
Reading - 8

I hope this helps. Luckily in my case, I didn't have to claim any points for my spouse's education and her language proficiency hence I don't know how much points would have been added if she would have appeared for the exam.
