How to Calculate Your PR Points

The Australia PR points system is based on age, English level, skilled employment, qualifications, and other factors. Here’s the breakdown:

Category	Points
Age (25–32 years)	30 points
Superior English (IELTS 8 or PTE 79)	20 points
Australian Work Experience (3 years)	10 points
Overseas Work Experience (5 years)	10 points
Master’s Degree	15 points
Partner Skills (if applicable)	10 points
NAATI/Professional Year	5 points

Example: If you are an Agricultural Scientist aiming for 90 points, you can combine 30 points (age), 20 points (English), 15 points (Master’s), 15 points (experience), and 10 points (partner skills) to reach the cut-off.
