雅思成绩有效期

　　紧急通知：

　　日前雅思考试官方网站上发布两条重磅新闻，同学们应该及时了解以做好应对的措施：继去年英国政府不再接受托福成绩之后再次发表申明，从2015年4月6日起将只承认雅思成绩申请进入英国的签证，意味着4月6日之后不再接受PTE Academic考试成绩申请，再重申一次，雅思将成为英国政府审理从全世界其他国家申请入英的唯一认证的语言考试！

　　2015年4月6日之前取得的英语成绩，并在移民局过渡期认证清单上的语言成绩可继续使用，可使用的截止日期至2015年11月5日。这样算来，在2015年4月6日之前取得的雅思成绩的有效期将不再为2年而缩短至8个月。

　　Anyone who has taken a previously approved test on or before 5th April 2015 may still use it in a UK immigration application until 5th November 2015 providing the test is one of those detailed in the Transitional Approved Tests Lists.
