My wife is also trying to book the test in Islamabad. She was told by the centre in ISB that the next available date will be announced on 15 feb. I will post a detailed info on the test once she is done with it.
It took me sometime to get the above information so i shared it with others as its very confusin at the moment to find out what actually this test is. Im still trying to get more information and will keep updating the above post.
I myself wanted to find a person who has taken the test. A member of this forum gave me some information on her spouse's personal experience of the test but unfortunately that was not enough. You can have a look at it and try to get more info from the person if you can please.

I just asked them if they have any exam centres in Islamabad and the next exam date. So they sent me the above information. I have sent a copy to my wife who will contact them to book the test herself. I dont know how long it takes to get the results yet. Once you have the results you can submit the visa application straight away.

The exam fee is £200

!!!

Thats ridiculous

ok study 786..thankyou
