  • Improving IELTS to 8 each (Superior English +20) is most direct method
  • STEM qualifications, Professional Year and NARTI are practical ways to increase competitiveness
  • If points slightly low, consider 190 state nomination (+5) or 491 regional (+15)
  • When delaying application, monitor age, language scores or partner situation changes to update EOI for accurate points
