4 is the pass score needed for EACH of the Speaking and Listening 'modules'
The OVERALL score is not counted.

Just trying to help out.

Your friend would be well advised to re-take the test. UKBA does not use overall scores.
The UKBA approved listing states a score of 4 is required for each of listening and speaking.

Since 3.5 is 'technically' equivalent of a pass for level A1 I previously questioned them on it. It took quite a long time and a number of e-mails to get anything close to a real answer, but eventually said that minimum pass at IELTS is scored at 4.0

Submission of a score at 3.5 would need an ECO to act outside of his guidance.
Far too risky in my opinion.

Thanks Terpe. I'll just tell her to take the test asap.
