I got my English test in Trinity College London. I took GESE ( Graded Examination in Spoken English). Its done well just had topic form and its took 10 mins oral exam based on my topic. The 10 mins was quick and easy. I got a result right away and they sent me the certificates within 5 working days. All ok I used it on my ILR and it was granted.
