Hello everyone

[Terpe]

Hi Thanks. My wife already has her Spouse Visa and is in the UK. I was wondering if her TOEIC scores were high enough for nursing work here. They were obviously high enough for the UKBA.

lastlid,

As with most things it's not quite a simple as it could be.
There's not really any accurate direct conversion of scores between the various tests.

IELTS has 2 different versions, General (easier) and the Academic (more difficult) .

For nursing the IELTS requirement states:-

You must complete the academic version of the IELTS test and achieve:

At least 7.0 in the listening and reading sections
At least 7.0 in the writing and speaking sections
At least 7.0 (out of a possible 9) overall

We will not accept applicants who score lower than this standard.

A TOEIC minimum score of 780 would be approximately equivalent to IELTS score 7

It may not be perfect but at least gives an idea.

Thanks Terpe. Presumably that 780 is the aggregate score for all four TOEIC tests combined? And presumably she would need to have achieved a minimum TOEIC score in each test?

I don't think she did as well as that. Possibly just under. Me and her need to look into it a bit more. Thanks.

Hello!lastlid,

I saw the equivalency in UKBA try to look on it.
what score did she get if you don't mind?and does your wife check the NMC website?

Hi. Thanks. She scored enough for the UKBA Spouse Visa application, but not enough for nursing in the UK as far as I can see.
