do I need to print it out when i attend the biometrics appointment where they scan all my documents? Do I need to print out the digital english certificate beforehand?
from the document checklist I have;
the expired passport(+my first passport that was not asked but I will bring it just in case)
the english certificate but in digital form
proof of living in the uk for 5 years (highschool letter proving i attended from 2011 to 2017)
my current biometric residence permit that has ilr
two referee decalration form
Will I need anything else on top of these, like bank statement etc?
many thanks

You can upload the digital copy - plus you have stated the ref number.

No statements or utility bills required (or accepted for this application).

Thanks for the quick reply, so when I arrive to the appointment I simply tell them the reference number and it should be fine?

You should have entered the English test certificate reference number when you completed the application online. UKVCAS only deal with the biometrics, they are not UKVI staff. Did you do take the B1 test?

Yes I took the B1 English Test from Trinity College, I see what you are saying now, I got this completely mixed up with the ukvi document checklist and I have already entered the reference number into the application.
So my next question would be what is everything that I need to bring for the ukvcas appointment? Are the things I mention fine?

No, there is a section in the application asking how you meet English Language requirement, this is where you input the reference number of your test result/certificate.

If you already submitted, do write a covernote or letter addressing this mistake and give to UKVCAS personnel to upload for you when you attend biometrics appointment.
