Hello there pleased to meet you, I'm afraid their requirements for the English exam is a total band score of 6.0 regardless of the individual score of all categories :(
I am afraid to tell you that you fail. The passing score that the UKBA requires is 4.0 to all components in IELTS.Originally Posted by wayne

yes im so annoying cos i have 3.5 in reading! by the way im gonna retake again in january.. im so dissapointed in my result..
Yep that was before but the new rule states that and i quote
Approval criteria for English language
There are two ways in which applicants can meet and evidence the English language
requirement:
• an International English Language Test System (IELTS) test report, showing
an overall band score of six or above, which was issued no more than two
years before the date of the application; or
• an academic qualification, at Bachelors degree level that was taught in English
and is equivalent to a UK Bachelor degree. This does not need to be gained
within any set period. • Exceptionally, if the person already has an equivalent English language
certificate, we can accept this, if it is equivalent to IELTS band six. This does
not need to be gained within any set period. end quote
i just read their updated policy, too bad its getting harder every time :(
do you think it will change ENGLISH TEST REQUIREMENT next year?
I stand to be corrected but that link you given me is an old rule me love.
That link I gave you is the recent one have a look on the top part of the page.
Also, she is applying for a fiancee visa and the minimum requirement is 4.0 only.
Im sure we will know who is right and wrong when we get one of the experts attention in here.
This is for highly skilled migrants or workers going to UK, and not for spouses/fiancee's/partners. An overall band score of 4.0 still stands for settlement visas.

thanks for correcting me rayna. it isnt an old rule, its for skilled migrants.
Wow is that the updated one? FS! i was sooo worried before cause i just got the passing grade when i took the exam i was sooo frustrated because our case worker said that i have to score atleast 6.0 overall, there is a time that i was soo mad at my self for not passing the listening one cause i only got 5.5 cause i dont understand the accent at that time it was a british/indian accent and i dont understand half of the story telling or what ever it is now i learned that its just 4.5 (i just waste my time) im just saying sorry for my big mouth :( thank you for your help!
Make sure you do a lot of practice test before you do a retake. There are lots of free online practice tests. Just search Google. If you are still not confident you would be able to pass the retake, why not try to avail their training, if you have a spare cash to do it. Practice makes perfect.yes im so annoying cos i have 3.5 in reading! by the way im gonna retake again in january.. im so dissapointed in my result..

4.0 babe.
thanks reyna! bless!
Thanks chick, appreciate it xx
No problem k4k..You just found out that even case workers don't know all the rules which causes confusion to applicants.

lol yeah but he might want me to pass the exam thats why he set a band score to scare me lol it was effective though, thanks again reyna xx
thanks melovesngland im gonna try Hopkins.. i wish i can make it!!
I am just confuse, what is your total band score again? not the individual score please. thanks
I hope you will, I hoipe you will pass the test. Loads of applicants said that its easy in Hopkins than taking IELTS.thanks melovesngland im gonna try Hopkins.. i wish i can make it!!
Like what rayna said you can review online for free just keep browsing and searching.
Have a lil look on this. http://www.ieltsessentials.com/prepa...o_prepare.aspx
4.5 she said
Ok so if she passed the over all score she needs to take another exam just to make sure that 4 categories have an individual score of 4.0? cause she already passed the total band score, hmmm lol im so slow! ahaha
thank you so much melovengland! do u think the reading and writing are not requared? only listening and speaking are requared? maybe its not consider in ukba because the reading and writing? check it out http://www.hopkins.ph/visas-immigrat...for-ukba:cwm3:
check it out melovengland http://www.hopkins.ph/visas-immigration/toeic-for-ukba
she needs to obtain atleast 4.0 in each component. even if she gets 9 on listening and 3.5 in reading with a band score of 7 still she fail as 4.0 is the minimum requirements for IELTS.
yes, as far as i know there is no reading and writing because its TOEIC not IELTS.
