    The new English Test

    the price is a bit of a joke !!!
    Fresh from a call this morning.....5000p to log on and get the course work and then only 8900p each time you take it
    They do target the easy ones it seems

    Did you check out the UKBA approved list?
    All of the various English tests are quite expensive. In the region of about P7000 - P8500

    You really need to find a test centre that offers an appropriate test at reasonable cost, close to where your wife live. Many of these test centres also arrange review classes for those whose self-confidence needs a boost.

    UKBA requires applicants to pass ANY English Language test that meets or exceeds the A1 level of the European Common framework.
    There are a number of different tests that can be taken, and a number of Approved Providers and test-centres but they must be on the UKBA approved listing.

    Please look here for the new approved listing from UKBA for providers of English language courses and tests:-
    http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/si...lish-tests.pdf

    This UKBA page also contains some more information and also useful links:-

    There is little or no evidence that testing English language learners enhances their ability to learn English.
