How long is my English test valid?

From 1 September 2007, the department will accept the results of English language tests undertaken in the 24 months before the date the visa application was lodged.

My question: I did IELTS on 2nd Sept 2006. Will it be valid to include with DIMIA application if lodged in Sept 2007?

English is not our first language.

Hi,

From my reading of the government website, your IELTS score is accepted up to 2nd September 2008 (ie. for 2 years). So you should be fine.

Kind Regards,
