You write that you are a native English speaker who has lived all of your life in an English speaking country and attended English speaking schools. That is what I put and apparently it was fine. Don't sweat it. These are not trick questions. The people who will process your form will recognise that you are a native speaker.

Sorry, I did my EOI December 2005, so it has been a while.

What are the choices again?

Go to Q D2. The IELTS thingie is a test that non-native English speakers take. It's an acronym for International English Language Testing Syndicate (ran by your very own Cambridge University). You are a native English speaker. You don't need it.
