yes i think so to

use the Nationality Checking Service (NCS) so you don't waste your money

I used NCS when I submitted my naturalization application (atleast if something wrong I have someone to blame bec that's their purpose to check if my docs are correct and my application form for £45 fee). I submitted mine last Feb 17 and I received the HO acknowlegement letter after 2 weeks saying that they got the money already and last friday I had a phone call from Home Office Liverpool to confirm something about my middle name for my naturalization certificate and I asked if my application is okay and he said he is looking through it and seems no prob and I ask again if how long I will wait..he said may be in two weeks time I might receive a letter from them....not sure if it is the naturalization certificate? I know that the waiting time is 3-7 months the most.

It won't be a naturalisation certificate that they will send you anyway. It will be a letter asking you to phone up and arrange your citizenship ceremony. You don't actually become British until you attend the ceremony where your receive your naturalisation certificate.
