Why my score is so low??

[v2manms]

Hi All,

I have created my profile on 18th Feb 2015 and my score it shows is 332.
I am not sure if this is correct score for me. I think its too low. One of my friends has similar work/study experience, but as per him his marks are much more.

My age is 33, i have 12 years of work experience. My transcripts were certified by WES. My IELTS score is 7 (Listening 6.5, Reading 6.5, Writing 6.5, Speaking 8.0)l I am Graduate (3 yrs degree). My wife has also given IELTS with score of 6. (Listening 7, Reading 5.5, Writing 6, Speaking 6). My wife has done B.Sc, Msc and BEd but i have not applied for her transcripts hence are not certified by WES. I do not have any Work/Study experience in Canada.

My total score as of today is 322 which i feel is too low. i don't know what wrong in my profile and what will help me to increase my score.
Can anyone please guide what are common mistakes !!

Regards,

your age and english score are one of the factors..

I cant do anything about my age. But what about IELTS Score? Scoring 7.5 will make a huge difference?

you can retake your english test and score 8+ that will give u a better score. Same goes for your spouse, i think.
