This is the checklist Phil Harmon uses with SELT preparation students at Elite Language Solutions. It covers everything from booking the right test to what to do on test day — in the order it matters.
Which SELT level you need (A2 or B1) for your specific visa route
Which provider to book — Trinity GESE or LanguageCert
How to book your test centre and what to bring on the day
A realistic preparation timeline based on your current level
The 10 criteria examiners use at B1 level — explained simply
The five most common reasons candidates fail — and how to avoid them
How to choose your topic (Trinity GESE) or prepare for the structured format (LanguageCert)
Speaking practice tasks matched to real SELT question types
What to do the week before your test
A test-day checklist — what to bring, what to expect, how to manage nerves
The checklist is a single A4 PDF you can print and work through as you prepare. No login required — it is yours to keep.
