Read the guidance notes.

https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... n-guidance

You need B1 English test and LIUK test as well.

Residency proof is your TD with stamps (in/out) - absence listing doesn't need to be proven in detail.
And 2 Referee declarations. The guidance will explain all requirements in detail.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.

Thank you for giving me the website link. But still I haven’t got the clarity of the above listed things. UK ILR holders generally only need their passport/TD to support residency. It's not an immigration application.
