Okay, so good luck with that.

The rule is that in total you should not be out of country for more than 90 days in the last 12 months. So you whould wait till its less than 90 days out of UK in past 12 months.

There is discretion to allow the application where the absence exceeds 90 days usually where the applicant can show that most of their 'estate' is in the UK.

Depends, when did your IELTS expire (it's valid for 2 years)? Give a breakdown of your scores Listening Speaking Reading Writing.

@d4109125 ,my IELTS EXPIRED ON 16TH JULY 2013
listening,6 reading 5.5, writing 5 ,speaking 6.5

The test would have to be valid not expired. Wait for the guidance for a list of approved courses.

I have a question that when you counting your days out of united kingdom how will you count it, for example if your departure was on 2nd march and you arrival was on 18th march.
is it 15 days ???

An expired IELTS should be fine. You don't count the departure and arrival days.
