What you need is "Trinity’s GESE Grade 5 exam = CEFR B1". This test is simple compared to others and gives you the required eligibility for your English Language skills to obtain ILR. Test score is valid for only 2 years though. If you are aiming to apply in July 2020, you can take it now.

So, take the test mentioned in below URL

You need English B1 AND LIUK test for ILR.

Thanks CR001, can I give it LIUK now if my 5 years is completing on July 2020? Will that be valid.

LIUK does not expire. You can do it at any time.
