The English speaking and listening test is an essential part of the British citizenship application process, you also need to pass the test if you’re applying for permanent residency in the UK (also known as indefinite leave to remain). You will be asked to provide the results of your test to the UK Home Office as part of your application and is one of the major things the decision maker will consider when deciding whether to grant the application. The test is not easy to pass if English is your second language and will take significant revision time to get a passing grade.
The test costs around £150 per sitting, if you fail you will need to pay the fee again. There are two tests you can take which are accepted by the UK Home Office as proof of your English language skills. One is the IELTS Life Skills test the other is the Trinity GESE Grade 5 test, you can choose either test. Both tests follow the ‘Common European Framework Reference (CEFR), in order to be considered for citizenship of permanent residence you must take one of these tests at CEFR ‘B1’ level or above. These tests only assess your speaking and listening skills so that you understand spoken English to a sufficient level, you don’t need to prove your reading and writing skills.
The CEFR levels are:
A1 to A2 – Basic Users
B1 to B2 – Independent Users
C1 to C2 – Advanced Users
This means you will need to demonstrate that you can understand and speak English to an intermediate level. Passing the B1 test means that you can use English independently without prompting. As part of the test you will be expected to be able to talk freely about work, school and daily activities. You will be asked about everyday situations like travelling, dining out and current events. You need to be able to make conversation with sentences that are connected and flowing.
Not all applicants need to take the test, for example, if you are aged 65 or over you are exempt from the test. If you are unable to sit the test for medical reasons you may also be exempt. You may also hold a qualifying degree from another country (that was taught in English) which may mean that you don’t need to take the test. Finally, if you come from an English-speaking country, as listed on the .gov website, you will also be exempt from taking the B1 English test.
This book will help you understand how the two types of tests on offer differ and help you decide which will be best for you. This guide will help you to revise for the test and is full of helpful exam advice and tips.
