Unfortunately if you need to claim 25 points for language, then the simple answer is yes you need to take the IELTS test. If English is your native language then it is possible to get 15 points without taking the test. The test is split into either general or academic path ways. It depends on your career / trade as to which type of test you need to take. The level of competency in each of 4 areas (Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking) is assessed. You need to score a total of 7 in each of the 4 category in order to qualify for 25 points.
