    i think the point of the test is not just about remembering facts and figures about living in the UK, the point of the test is to get immigrants to learn English, many immigrants who have lived here for many years know nothing of the UK and don't speak, read or write a word of English

    the test was an attempt at getting people to integrate and learn something about life in the UK, by getting them to do a ESOL English course with combined UK citizenship material or if their English was at a good level just do the test.

    maybe it would have been better for everyone to do a ielts exam b4 they come to the uk or b4 they can apply for ILR when their in the UK

    I agree with you, to a certain extent, but even us Brits are failing as seen above, which shows there is no relevance to living in the UK.
    There are thousands of questions, they could ask, that are much more relevant to everyday life, instead of how many days must a school open a year...or whatever the question was...see I can't even remember the question properly, it was so irrelevant.

    Many thanks, everyone for your replies and good wishes on Myrna's behalf. Now I know this may seem like a daft question ... but I've often seen IELTS mentioned on this site, and wondered what exactly it stood for. Would someone care to enlighten me?
