IELTS English test pass mark

[blessed_ekim0826]

Hi benjy,
If you look at the current UKBA listing of approved tests you'll see that IELTS tests have a minimum passing level at B1
Just as an aside, UKBA require a pass at level A1 (which is actually lower than B1)

The passing grades are shown as:-
Listening – 4.0
Speaking – 4.0
Reading – 4.0
Writing – 4.0

UKBA are only concerned with listening & Speaking

What if you passed on Listening and Speaking and you failed on either reading or writing, does result can still be use or need to retake and passed all components?
