Should I write IELTS again?

[Sam M]

My IELTS General score is L:7.5, R:7, W:7, S:7.5. Could you please tell me if 8777 score would really make a difference to my points? On the cic calculator I see a 8 points difference but a lawyer told me 8777 would increase my score by 50 points? Would love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks

Your lawyer is correct. There’s a 50-point bonus when you have 8777 and 3-yr experience.

With dual degree, diploma, certificate or a master's.

I tested the calculator with 26 years old, single, Master’s degree and your score vs 8 in IELTS Listening. With 7.5 the CRS is 414; with 8 the CRS is 472. So there is 58 points of difference.

Thanks, I guess I will be writing IELTS again afterall.

Also, has it always been the same or this is some new criteria they came up with?
