Hello,

my wife has been in the country on a spouse Visa for nearly 2 months now, and after our holiday next month i want to get the ball rolling and get this B1 requirement out of the way so she can concentrate on Life in uk Exa,.

My question is which is the best exam to do out of

(PET, FCE, CAE, CPE, BEC, ILEC, ICFE) ?

I belive she only needs to do speaking and listening, what happens if she scores highly on speaking and listening but does badly on reading/writing and her overall mark is let down by that?

Thanks!

only listening / speaking is taken into account.

Thanks Innoncentdevil,

you need to score 71 upwards I believe on a PET test to obtain B1, I am just confused because the test is in 4 parts for example each part worth 25 %.

she could score maximum marks on speaking & listening 50% but that wouldn't get her the 71/100 required to get the B1 grade?
