B1 English Test vs Life in the UK Test
The B1 English test and Life in the UK test are two separate requirements for ILR and citizenship. The Life in the UK test assesses knowledge of British life, history, and values. The B1 English test proves language proficiency at CEFR B1 level. Accepted English tests include IELTS for UKVI, Trinity ISE I, and LanguageCert. Exemptions from the English requirement apply to nationals of majority English-speaking countries and holders of UK degrees taught in English. Both tests are required for ILR and citizenship applications.
