You will find that Andrew Millers' opinion (the guy who replied to your
other thread) is very well respected around here. If he is of the
opinion that IELTS is the way to go, you can bet that this is based on
the direct experience of his clients and others. If your English is
that good, the IELTS test should be a breeze, and just a minor
inconvenince, one of many to come in the application process.
In theory it seems like you need not do the IELTS test, but in practice,
if you were the Officer assesing your application, would you rather see
a nice IELTS assesment, or would you rather wade through a mess of other
papers and evidence to make a decision? Which do you think will get you
the most points?
Good Luck
