    Passed the Life in the UK test

    I passed the Life in the UK test this morning. Only 8 examinees are allowed per batch. I was there 11:15 but my schedule was at 12noon.

    We waited in the lounge and one by one were called to go to the room and presented our passports and paid £34.00.There were 4 practice questions to answer and we were asked to raised our hands once we're done then clicked on start. The time limit given is 45 minutes to answer 24 questions.

    There were some questions that i didn't find in the book that i read.

    As soon as I finished I looked at the screen and it says 38 mins left and so I reviewed 3 times (clicked on previous) before i clicked on finish. There were 22 mins left but I was confident on my answers. Test results were distributed right after. I was asked to sign the test results. I signed my married name and presented the photocopy of my M.C. (I brought the original with me). I thought of this before hand as my passport is not yet ammended.

    Next step: Ready your 750£ or 950£ if one day process.

    After 6 mos./ 1 year, another 700£+ for British passport.

    We can do it!

    Cheers!!!!

    Thanks Mavid. That is so sweet of you...........

    When i was in the car my husband told me he chatted with the bf of one of the examinees and told him his gf failed the test.

    I noticed one of the guys in the waiting lounge reading a book same as my small blue book but his has a green color on the edge.

    Thanks Sis Kimmi..

    To Ana May 2 weeks review is good enough as long as you dedicate that full time reading. I had started few months back but i didn't take it seriously for i thought my FLR just started. I had seriously gave time to it just 2 weeks before my schedule.

    Goodluck to you Ana May

    It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good to check up once in a while to make sure you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.

    You're welcome Islander. When does your FLR expires? yea do start reading while you got enough time at least you won't do cramming as what others did. The test is easy. I was nervous when i saw a question i didn't find in my book but just answered i thought was right. I wanted to have perfect score but, it doesn't indicate our socres in the results. What is impt is to pass the test....BTW there was a question that refers to 2 answers.

    Goodluck.
