Which IELTS test to practice
For settlement, also called indefinite leave to remain, practice IELTS Life Skills B1. Life Skills B1 covers Speaking and Listening only and reports Pass or Fail, not a band from 0 to 9, so it is not Academic. The Home Office accepts an English qualification at Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) level B1, B2, C1 or C2, which makes B1 a floor. A secure English language test (SELT) must be taken with a Home Office approved provider.
The score to aim for
| Applies to | CEFR level | IELTS test and result |
|---|---|---|
| Settlement, indefinite leave to remain | B1, B2, C1 or C2 | IELTS Life Skills B1, Pass |
| Degree taught or researched in English | None required | None required |
The Life in the UK Test is a separate requirement and is not a language qualification.
Before you book the real test
The Home Office can change the level settlement needs, so check it before you book a test: Prove your knowledge of English for citizenship and settling.
