It's quite a increase in level.........Originally Posted by John_10
Many thanks Terpe for clearing that up, was strange everyone was taking the test again when they had already taken it through their visa application.
Would it not make sence to change the pass to B1 in the visa application so everyone dose not have to go through all this trouble again when in the UK and to pay out more cash. Or am i just being silly
Thanks Everyone
A lot of folks might really struggle to reach that B1 level.
I'm just guessing, but I would think that the level of English competency for speaking and listening would be much better after having lived in UK for a few years allowing a much better chance to progress.
The government had been heavily criticised for granting settlement and British Citizenship to people who could hardly speak or understand any English. Hence the uplift in requirement.
The idea is to improve integration by improving English Language skills
