DHA score requirements — July 2026
Michigan English Test score requirements for Australian skilled migration.
⚡ Key fact: MET Writing 74 out of 80 for Proficient (+10 PR pts) represents 92.5% of the maximum score — the highest writing proportion required by any DHA-accepted test. MET is NOT accepted for Superior English (+20 PR pts). If you need Superior, use PTE Academic, IELTS, CELPIP or LanguageCert instead.
| Level | PR points | Listening | Reading | Writing | Speaking | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Competent | 0 pts | 56 | 55 | 57 | 48 | Minimum to apply — no PR bonus |
| Proficient | +10 pts | 61 | 63 | 74 ⚠️ | 59 | Writing 74 = 92.5% of max |
| Superior | N/A | NOT ACCEPTED WITH MET | Use PTE/IELTS for +20 pts | |||
⚠ All four skills must individually meet the threshold — you cannot average a high Listening score against a low Writing score. Each skill is assessed independently. Scores updated per DHA LIN 25/016 effective 7 August 2025. Verify current requirements at homeaffairs.gov.au.

MET Single Section Retake (SSR)
MET's unique advantage — retake one skill without resitting the full test
SSR rules
- ✓Available for Listening, Reading and Writing only
- ✗Speaking CANNOT be retaken via SSR
- ✓Request SSR within 3 days of receiving results
- ✓Complete SSR within 28 days of original test
- ✓Original scores for non-retaken skills are used
SSR strategy tip
The SSR is most valuable for Writing. If you score Writing 71–73 on your first attempt (just below 74), the SSR gives you one targeted retake within 28 days — avoiding a full test resit and fee. OA's SSR Writing coaching program is specifically designed for this scenario.

MET test format — task types
What tasks appear in the Michigan English Test — what does each section test?
The Michigan English Test tests four skills: Listening (short and extended conversations, multiple-choice, ~30 minutes), Reading (academic passages with comprehension tasks, ~41 minutes), Writing (structured written responses to prompts, ~42 minutes), and Speaking (recorded oral responses to visual and audio prompts, ~42 minutes). Total duration approximately 155 minutes. The MET is computer-based and administered only at approved test centres — remote versions are not accepted by DHA.
🎧
Listening
~30 minutes · Score 0–80 · Target: 61 (Proficient)
Short conversations
Brief dialogues between two speakers. Multiple-choice questions on topic, purpose and detail.
Extended dialogues
Longer academic or professional conversations. Inference and main idea questions.
Academic lectures
Monologue presentations. Comprehension of academic content and speaker attitude.
📖
Reading
~41 minutes · Score 0–80 · Target: 63 (Proficient)
Short reading passages
Paragraphs with vocabulary and comprehension multiple-choice questions.
Extended texts
Longer academic and general interest texts with detailed comprehension and inference tasks.

✍️
WritingKEY HURDLE
~42 minutes · Target: 74/80 = 92.5% of max
Guided writing task 1
Structured prompt requiring a formal written response of approximately 150–200 words.
Guided writing task 2
Extended writing task requiring argumentation, explanation or description of approximately 200–250 words.
⚠ Why Writing 74 is critical: 74/80 = 92.5% — the highest single-skill pass percentage required for Proficient (+10 PR pts) of any DHA-accepted English test. MET Writing consistently has the lowest candidate scores relative to its threshold. This is where OA coaching makes the biggest difference.
🎤
Speaking
~42 minutes · Score 0–80 · Target: 59 (Proficient) · No SSR
Describe an image
Describe a photograph or graphic in spoken English. 25–40 second response.
Respond to questions
Answer a series of questions about a topic. 10–30 second responses per question.
Summarise spoken text
Listen to a short audio and summarise the key points verbally. 60–90 second response.
⚠ Speaking cannot be retaken via SSR. If Speaking is your weakest skill, focus on it early — a retake requires a full new MET booking.

FAQ — AEO optimised direct answers
Common questions about the Michigan English Test mock test and DHA requirements.
Is the Michigan English Test accepted for Australian skilled migration?
Yes. The Michigan English Test (MET) is accepted by the Australian Department of Home Affairs (DHA) for skilled migration from 7 August 2025 under Legislative Instrument LIN 25/016. The test must be completed at an approved MET test centre — remote or at-home versions are not accepted. MET qualifies for Competent English (0 PR points) and Proficient English (+10 PR points) only. It is NOT accepted for Superior English (+20 PR points).
What is the MET Writing score needed for Proficient English (+10 PR points)?
Writing 74 out of 80. This is 92.5% of the maximum score — the highest single-skill pass proportion required for Proficient English of any DHA-accepted test. By comparison, PTE Academic requires Writing 65 out of 90 (72.2%) and IELTS requires Writing band 7.0. The Writing 74 threshold is consistently the most challenging hurdle for MET candidates and is the section most commonly addressed by OA coaching.
What is the MET Single Section Retake (SSR)?
The MET SSR (Single Section Retake) allows candidates to retake one skill section — Listening, Reading or Writing — without resitting the full test. Speaking cannot be retaken via SSR. Candidates must request the SSR within 3 days of receiving their results and complete the retake within 28 days of the original test date. The SSR is particularly valuable for candidates who score Writing 71–73 on their first attempt (just below the 74 threshold for Proficient).
Can MET be used to get Superior English (+20 PR points) for Australian PR?
No. MET is NOT accepted for Superior English (+20 PR points) for Australian skilled migration. The DHA score framework only recognises MET for Competent English (0 PR points) and Proficient English (+10 PR points). Candidates who need Superior English must use PTE Academic, IELTS Academic or General Training, CELPIP-General or LanguageCert Academic. This is a critical distinction — many candidates discover this only after booking MET.
What is the MET fee and how long do results take?
The MET fee is approximately AUD $200–$280 depending on the test centre — the lowest fee of any DHA-accepted English test for Australian migration. Results are issued within 5 business days. The SSR (Single Section Retake) carries a separate fee. OA recommends verifying the current fee directly with the test centre before booking, as fees vary by location.
How is the free MET mock test scored?
OA's free MET mock test via MockMaster is AI-scored within seconds of submission. You receive a score out of 80 for each skill, a comparison against DHA Competent and Proficient thresholds, a Writing 74 gap analysis showing exactly how close you are to the Proficient threshold, and fix-it suggestions per task. Speaking is scored against MET pronunciation and fluency criteria using AI speech analysis. Results are shown immediately after the test.
MET has the lowest fee (~$200–$280 AUD vs $490 for IELTS or $420 for PTE), results in 5 business days, and has the SSR retake option for Listening, Reading and Writing. However, MET is NOT accepted for Superior English (+20 PR pts) and has the most demanding Writing threshold (74/80 = 92.5%). PTE Academic: fastest results (1–2 days), AI-scored, accepted for Superior (+20 pts), ANMAC accepted. IELTS: most widely accepted, human-marked Writing and Speaking, also accepted for Superior (+20 pts) and skills assessment bodies. Choose MET if: you only need Proficient (+10 pts), want the lowest cost, and the SSR suits your risk profile.
Not typically. MET is accepted by DHA for the PR points test but most Australian skills assessment bodies (ANMAC for nursing, Engineers Australia, ACS for IT professionals, AITSL for teachers) have their own English test requirements that do not include MET. ANMAC specifically requires IELTS, OET or PTE Academic. Engineers Australia accepts IELTS and PTE Academic. Always verify with your specific skills assessment body before choosing MET — you may need a separate English test for skills assessment even if you use MET for PR points.
No. The at-home or remote version of MET is NOT accepted by DHA for Australian skilled migration. The test must be completed at an approved MET test centre in person. This is stated in DHA LIN 25/016. The same restriction applies to all DHA-accepted English tests — IELTS at-home, PTE at-home and TOEFL at-home are also not accepted for Australian skilled migration purposes.
