What is the IELTS Life Skills Test?

The IELTS life skills test is meant to get your English speaking and listening skills assessed at 3 levels of the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference). You can select between IELTS Life Skills A1, A2, and B1 to get your English speaking and listening skills evaluated. The level of the IELTS Life Skills test you take depends on the type of visa you are applying for in the United Kingdom. So, the different levels of the IELTS Life Skills test will help you meet the requirements set by UKVI (UK Visas and Immigration).

Find a brief list below for the type of visa and which IELTS Life Skills test you will need:

IELTS Life Skills A1 : For a family of a settled individual/person visa

IELTS Life Skills A2 : For a family of a settled individual extension visa

IELTS Life Skills B1 : Applying to become a citizen of the United Kingdom

IELTS Life Skills Test Format

Well, to begin, you will not get any band scores for the IELTS Life Skills Test. Your result will indicate either ‘Pass’ or ‘Fail.’ Likewise, you'll take the exam with an IELTS examiner as well as another test-taker. During the exam, the examiner will evaluate your speaking and listening abilities using specific criteria. The overall test session could last anywhere from 16 to 22 minutes.

The essential criteria your certified IELTS examiner will use are your ability to gather information, convey information, speak to communicate, and ability to engage in a discussion.
