All the best Dheana, I can understand this as I m a working working with 2 kids and it is really difficult to get time to practice IELTSYou still have to ask him to get higher IELTS score,dear...Every point counts.
462 is a safe points I would say...next draw cut off score should be around 459-460.
With 462, you guys will not have to wait long in the pool. Maximum points for spouse is 20 points with CLB 9. Your husband's score is not far off so better ask him to sit for IELTS exam again. Try CD-IELTS for faster result(5-7days).
I'm planning to sit for IELTS again soon. My husband already contributed full points for IELTS. Now, it's only my IELTS that delaying our invitation but it's so hard to study if you have a hyperactive son that won't leave you alone. Not even a bathroom break, hahaha.
So, I will be joining IELTS training class just to give myself proper time to focus on preparing for IELTS without any disturbance from my toddler.
All the best,dear.
Hope my hubby get CLB 7 and above. I m just keeping my fingers crossed. Hoping for the draw to be below 460 this time.
