Here are 6 ways through which you can increase your PR points
1. Improve your English Language Skills
Although you might be a native english speaker, passing the IELTS exam helps you increase your points for PR. In Fact any English language test helps. These range from IELTS, TOEFL and PTE. The examinations test your reading, writing, listening and speaking abilities. It’s a great way to get more PR points and these are relatively easy tests too. All you need is to prepare well in advance. The higher you score, the higher points you receive. If you receive 8 or more in the examination, you get 20 points. If you receive 7 then you get 10 points more. And if you receive a lower score such as 6, you receive 0 points for PR. The examination is a great way to receive those extra scores you need.
2. Work Experience
Another great way to achieve PR points is work experience. If you have relevant work experience in your nominated skill or a closely related skill then you gain a good number of points. The great thing about this is you can even add the years of work experience that you have completed in your country or Australia. Both overseas and onshore experience is counted. You can receive a maximum of 20 points for employment. If you have even one year of work experience in Australia, it can provide 5 extra points!
3. Your Age!
Yup, you read it right! Your age can prove to be beneficial for extra points. If you lie within the age group of 25 to 32, you can easily receive a large number of points. Around 30 easily. If you are close to being 32, now is the best time to apply. Those who have aged more than 32, around 45 or so receive very less points for age.
4. Educational Qualifications
