How we check the information
- Every rule on this site comes from GOV.UK: the Immigration Rules as published there, the Home Office's guidance pages and the official lists of approved tests. Where a page uses a test provider's own site (for example for a price), it says so.
- Every page shows the date it was last checked against GOV.UK, and lists its sources with links.
- Where the rules are not settled, or GOV.UK and the Rules disagree, we say so plainly instead of guessing.
- We re-check whenever the Home Office publishes a new Statement of Changes.
What this site is not
This is general information, not immigration advice, and we never tell anyone they will pass a test or what their level is. For your own case, check GOV.UK or speak to a regulated immigration adviser.
