B1 English Test

Hi,

I just merged your threads.

Preference will depend on you and your wife, i.e. price you are willing to pay and location (nearest would obviously a good choice). Take note that any of the tests in the approved list by the UKVI are good.

As for me, I took IELTS when I was still in the Philippines and the certificate will still be acceptable in my future visa applications (ILR and citizenship) even though it's already expired (test result is equivalent to B1 and above). Other members here used ESOL or Pearson or Trinity College.

It will really depend on you and your wife which to choose. You can do a Google search for some test examples of the tests in the approved list and it might help your wife decide which one she'd be comfortable enough to take.

Hope that that helps.
