I'm unable to advise on the English Language *Test, Joan. TBH, it's been a sore point
with me - ever since it was first mooted - that it included Filipinos among non-European nationals planning to settle in the UK ... in spite of the fact that English is the medium of instruction in the Phils. I may be mistaken here [although I don't think so!] ... but I believe *its principal objective had been to curb the huge influx of Pakistanis who neither spoke, understood ... nor even attempted to learn a word of English coming here - especially to the Midlands regions - and forming themselves into ever-increasing enclaves rather than integrate with the local communities.
