Mine is for US citizenship.

I score higher than Mrs G on the practice civics tests 😆

USCIS doesn't use the ILETS. If you're over 65 or disabled you get a bye but if you were born and grew up in England you need to take their test 😆😆

I can confirm that the UK does *not* require American citizens to prove English ability 😎

Neither does Australia, but they assume you speak at a lousy 6, so if you want extra points you have to test.

Maybe they know a lot of Americans?

Yeah, it’s bitterly reasonable.

The funny thing is ILETS is British English and that was tricky for me!

gaffers.bsky.social•54 days ago

Innit!?

I think it’s the same test. You can take that one or TOEFL and they’re about the same.

Oh hang on. I think i am wrong. The USCIS site made no mention of ILETS for citizenship but other sites do?

hacks4pancakes.com•54 days ago

Most people in my test were going for US citizenship, yes

gaffers.bsky.social•54 days ago

Ok, something new to look into 👍

It’s at Dominican and if you’re native Oxford English speaking it should be pretty easy, minus perhaps the speaking extemporaneously.
