Part 3: Points test and self-assessment
Self-assessment
Complete the Self-assessment form as you go through the rest of this section. This will
give you an indication of how successful your application might be.
If you have a partner, it may be worthwhile to also obtain a skills and English language
assessment for your partner to see whose application may have the best chance of
success. When making your assessment remember that either you or your partner must
meet the pass mark individually.
If your partner’s skills are to be used to obtain partner skills points under the points test
(see below), a skills assessment for your partner must be lodged before a final decision is
made on your application, otherwise they cannot be taken into account.
Self-assessment form
Complete this form as you go through the rest of this section
It will give you an indication of how successful your application might be.
Note: A self-assessment should not be seen as a guarantee of success.
Your actual application will be rigorously assessed on the information and
evidence you provide, using the pass mark which applies at the time of
lodgement.
