IELTS CEFR B1

Post by Hari6006 » Mon Mar 13, 2023 8:35 am

Hi

Urgent Help require

Today, I received my IELTS results, and I am currently applying for a skilled work visa from outside of the UK. My overall band score indicates a CEFR level of B1, but I only scored a 3.5 in the listening section. I'm unsure if this level is acceptable, as the guidance provided on the UKVI website is not clear on the requirements for each band score.

I am two minds do I have to re sit exam or it’s acceptable.
