IELTS General - Spouse level

[Larry1]

Hello,
I am the main applicant for applying through the FSW route and my spouse needs to do the IELTS General course to get more points towards the 67 points target.

Questions:

1) What are the maximum points my spouse can get when doing IELTS general? I have read somewhere its 5 points but need clarification.
2) Also what band level does she need to get in each of Speaking, Listening, Reading & Writing to get the maximum points.

Thanks,
