You either send them your first or second results. you can't mix scores.

Hello,

Why did you take the IELTS exam second time? Your first test scores are also sufficient for applying Skill Type A level job.

To meet the language requirements for skill type A, you need to have:Benchmark 6 in one ability, Benchmark 7 for two abilities, and Benchmark 8 for the remaining ability. So both your test scores are sufficient.

Can you please tell me what do we mean by Skill Type A level job ?

I want to apply for federal skilled immigration.
