Nah not really :biggrin: I mean my friend got 6 overall but she's not very fluent in English (the oral bit got her) and if you practise speaking and get a book for the IELTS it shouldn't be too hard :smile:

Shiiiiiiiii I need to do it soon!

You don't need it if you've a minimum C in GCSE English Language, right? :/

Yeah, that's normally right. But if you live outside the UK it might be a bit hard to have GCSE grades :wink:

I happen to live outside the UK. And I did O Level (which has now been replaced by IGCSE).

I don't know about the IELTS but I just took the TOEFL iBT and thought it was ridiculously easy (managed a 119/120:biggrin: ) Make sure you know the format of the entire test, especially the speaking section, as it catches a lot of people off-guard. I'd suggest you complete at least 5 practice tests. Good luck :smile:

I heard that the Pearson English was a good one to take. Its all by computers and Uni of Edinburgh accepts it i think
