The requirement is that the cash saving must be above (min salary threshold + £16000) for ILR, so £18600 + £16000 = £34,600 minimum cash savings needed for your spouse. The money can be in either of your accounts

Test doesn’t expire and can be used for ILR.
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.

She can supply the URN of the test she took in 2021, that is all she needs.

Calculate 28 days before entry date.
No sin in failing, you just have to try and try again!

It is not necessary, that was given before and the visa was issued because of it
