help about the english test..
hi there, I'm planning to take the English test in a few months. I checked the IELTS page I'm just wondering how do I apply for the test, should it be by call or should I fill up the application form i saw on the page and submit it?
Will wait for the response.. thanks everyone

Hiya!
Since you are already in Manila, I might as well advise you to take TOEIC. It is an approved english test by the ukba like IELTS but I think much easier and quicker than IELTS.
See the link for more info. http://www.hopkins.ph/visas-immigration/toeic-for-ukba
I hope it will help.

Hello Bon
Good sensible advice there from melovesengland

Wasn't able to get online lately, thanks melovesengland, terpe 'n' rani, I talked about IELTS cos its one of the test I read from some posts, but if u guys think TOEIC is easier then I will take it instead. Thanks for the advice btw shud I register or book at least 3 months before the scheduled test? And can I register for all the tests that are scheduled on the same day? Thank you in advance

Hi rolzee, welcome here
The Level A1 Test is a basic level.
Level Group: A
Level Group Name: Basic User
Level: A1
Level Name: Breakthrough / Beginner
Level A1 Description:-
- Can understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases.
- Can introduce themselves and others and can ask and answer questions about personal details such as where they live, people they know and things they have.
- Can interact in a simple way provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help.
UKBA only require a pass grade/score for Speaking and Listening.
Although your specific English test may include modules for Reading and Writing these are not required by UKBA so you do not need to be concerned about grades/scores for these.
Hope that eases your stress levels.
