Right, so I need to be enlightened about this

I am about to pay £145 for an English test IELTS that I will be using for my FLR,

I have read that someone still got her visa even if she submitted TOEIC exam. She took her exam just before April.

I took mine last February 26 2014. Can I still use that as my English certificate in applying my FLR?

Gosh, I want to save that £145 as we are having challenges with expenses or we might use it for applying FLR in premium.
