Por qué es importante planificar la puntuación
Points-tested migration rewards English beyond the minimum: applicants who stop at Competent English leave 10–20 SkillSelect points on the table—often the difference between an invitation and months of waiting. Per-skill minimums matter as much as overall scores; one section below the Competent floor fails the entire English criterion even when your average looks fine.

How many points does better English add on SkillSelect?
Competent English is the baseline for many skilled visas. Proficient English adds 10 points; Superior English adds 20 points. At competitive invitation rounds, those bonus points often determine who receives an invitation to apply.
