The IELTS Life Skills test is a new test designed to meet UK Visa and Immigration requirements. The test is only in speaking and listening and is not as demanding as a normal IELTS test.
The test is pitched at Common European Framework of Reference(CEFR) Level A1 and CEFR Level B1. A1 is a very basic user of English. B1 is a user between IELTS band 4 to 5. Both are under the band 6 IELTS score normally needed for university entry. You need IELTS Life skills A1 if you want a UK visa for the status ‘family of a settled person’ or a sportsperson. You need IELTS Life Skills B1 if you are in the UK and want to remain there, or if you wish to gain citizenship.
