The UKBA requires applicants of all settlement visa's to pass ANY English Language test that meets or exceeds the A1 level of the European Common framework.Originally Posted by eryklondon73
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.
Here is the UKBA approved list of English tests and providers.
The UKBA site states that,
"In the test, you will need to demonstrate a basic command of English (speaking and listening) at level A1 of the Common European Framework of Reference Someone assessed at level A1 can understand and use simple, everyday expressions and very basic phrases.
You will not need to demonstrate your reading and writing skills. The minimum standard that you must meet is in speaking and listening at level A1 of the Common European Framework of Reference. "
Do remember that UKBA currently only requires a very basic level (A1) for Speaking and Listening. There is no reading or writing or grammar testing at all.
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 you live. Many of these test centres also arrange review classes for those whose self-confidence needs a boost.

That looks like a good score to me! You might be surprised how well you do in the other tests. You cleared the bar by a long way....
My wife didnt do as well as that but she still passed with a comfortable margin.
why what score did she got from L and R??? mmm im still nervous as im not really good in SPEAKING honestly... im just good on test papers hehehe lol ;')
Yes. I think that is why she was nervous as she said she felt she wasn't good at speaking. But she still passed okay.mmm im still nervous as im not really good in SPEAKING honestly... im just good on test papers hehehe lol ;')
L and R was 695 I seem to remember which was still much higher than the requirement for the UKBA.....

Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
Wow well done lyka!We did it!
Tawi2,We live in Dorking. I used to take train from dorking to london victoria and it would take me 35 mins so I thought only few mins away hehehe.

When do you update your booking calender? Need to book the UK L&S tests for April 25, we spoke with someone there to confirm the dates but as we had to buy flights and book hotels upfront to keep the costs down we are getting nervous if anything changes.......
Thanks
Good day!
Rest assured that all testing dates published in our website are not subject to changes within the year.
Just be guided that each test date has a one week before deadline (April 18 for April 25 test date) for registration, payment and submission of requirements.
Thank you!
Thanks, see you on the 25th, time for my wife to start the example tests...
took my LR test! it was a nice experience.hoping it will be the same for my Speaking test. Ill be there on Sunday, 11th March
