Much harder than expected
I just took the B1 SELT exam with LanguageCert for my Skilled Worker visa. It did the job—UK Home Office accepts it, no problem—but man, it was way harder than I expected! Compared to practice videos or even IELTS, it felt next-level.
The test was super rigid and fast—barely any time to think, especially in reading which was kind of academic one. The interface worked fine, but it was kinda robotic, and some question formats felt weird compared to IELTS, which has way more prep stuff out there.
The speaking part? The best part. Super friendly examiner. Nicholas! Thank you.
That said, the test center staff were nice and professional, and the instructions were clear. But if you’re taking this, definitely use LanguageCert’s official practice materials. YouTube won’t fully prepare you—the real thing’s way tougher.
Bottom line: It works, but the stress level? Unnecessarily high. Four stars for very nice staff and speaking part
