Hi, I am completely lost with the English language requirements for BC. I have ILR, I have passed my LiUK test. Now I am trying to figure out which English test to pass in order it to be accepted by HO for my BC application. It all seems complicated for me as HO wants CERF1 and test providers does not state on their website which test would be suitable for CERF1 or BC application (why should they?). I was thinking about IELTS, but they do not have any grades like b1 or something. Or is it the score which makes the required grade? I mean when I pass General IELTS with scores 4/4/4 or more is that what HO needs? Or let's put it simple. Could you please write which test did you take to apply for BC. Thanks.

Hello, I passed Cambridge Advanced English with Grade B and this is enough - according to
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... -tests.pdf
However on this forum someone posted the easiest and quickest test would be:

which is indeed mentioned in the above pdf on the very last page
Good luck

You need B1 CEFR / ESOL ENTRY LEVEL 3.

I went for the B1 CEFR option. If you are in a rush for your results, I would recommend the Pearson test of English Academic. I received my results within 48 hours. Good luck!
