What is the British A 1 exam?

A 1 is not an English test, but an English proficiency test in Britain. The British Immigration Service divides English proficiency into six levels: A 1, A2, B 1, B2, C 1 and C2. A 1 is the lowest and C2 is the highest. A 1 is an English proficiency requirement for ordinary immigrants, which is basically defined as being able to communicate with English natives in a simple way, and to understand some necessary life terms and understand them. Therefore, at present, immigrants applying for British spouse visa (for academic purposes) need to reach the English level of the so-called British A 1.

A 1 is just an English level, and then there are exams recognized by the British government and corresponding scores. At present, all the English tests we are familiar with are recognized by the British government, and applicants who are going to immigrate to the UK can choose, such as TOEFL, IELTS and other English tests. But for most immigrant applicants, the English level is not very high, so it is difficult to take TOEFL and IELTS. Fortunately, the British Immigration Bureau also recognizes some other English tests, such as the IESOL English test and so on. Such an English test can also determine whether it can reach the level of A 1 according to the applicant's score. Compared with several exams, TOEFL and IELTS have the highest requirements for the applicant's overall English ability, while IESOL has relatively low requirements.

Years of training experience shows that English test requires the lowest English ability of applicants, so usually applicants will participate in the pre-test training of IESOL, and they can all pass the English test at one time. The admission ticket for IESOL examination certification is City &; Guilds London City Industry Association, the test mode and IELTS test are almost divided into four parts: listening, speaking, reading and writing. While attaching importance to the evaluation of candidates' oral communication ability, the comprehensive evaluation of candidates' listening, reading and writing abilities proves that candidates have reached the level of A 1 in all directions.
