So when CIC described CLB 9 in skill transferability factors should I get in IELTS L8 R,S&W 7 all combined ? or

if I got W 6 and L 8 translated to W is CLB 7 and L is CLB 9 ? in this case if it is true how skill transferability factors are calculated ?

All combined. Anything less than 7 you will not be rewarded extra points in STF. L 8 will remain unchanged

The basic rule is that you need at least CLB 7 on all 4 areas which translates to an IELTS band of 6 individually for each section.

There are 2 slabs in Skills Transferability - you qualify for the highest slab if you score CLB 9 in EACH section and you are in the next highest slab if you score between CLB 7 and CLB 9 in EACH section.

These are standardized tests, scoring of which is determined even before they are administered. There is no subjective scoring in listening and reading - it's very straightforward. There might be some subjective scoring in writing and speaking, but you can always appeal if you feel you have been assessed wrongly.
I don't think choosing one or the other will make much difference in your score. Preparing well for the exam will, however.

Good luck!
