[quote="AcrossBorders"]Hi
Was hoping if anyone had experience with this exam? I am planning on booking this for my spouse for the purposes of ILR next year.
The new approved English list of centers/qualifications state this requirement for B1 in PET exam is:
"[b]Pass or pass with merit and
Listening - Borderline
Speaking - Borderline
Reading - Borderline
Writing - Borderline[/b]
"

The confusion I have is, if my spouse gets an overall "FAIL" for the exam but gets the required "Borderline" for speaking and listening will this be acceptable?
I've emailed HO with the query - but no response as yet!
TIA, AB[/quote]

In order to achieve a Cambridge English Preliminary (PET) qualification at B1 level, as issued by Cambridge English, applicants will need to show that they have achieved either a Pass or a Pass with Merit for this qualification having demonstrated the required competence in all 4 communicative skills i.e. speaking, listening, reading and writing. Please ignore the information on the SELT list referring to weak/borderline/exceptional results.
Please see attached link to the Cambridge English website explaining these results:

Applicants should attach their original certificate with the application showing a Pass or Pass with Merit attainment for this qualification. This will be sufficient to demonstrate knowledge of language for settlement purposes.
