    The Test can be taken at any time during the valdity of your Spousal Visa ... but it is obviously advisable to wait until you've BEEN here long enough - say, at least a year - to acclimatise yourself to our way of life. By the same token, though, you should not leave it too close to the date(s) that you're due to apply for ILR.

    The Test itself, consists of 24 questions ... SOME of which are of the 'Multiple Choice' type - whereas OTHERS require examinees to tick whether certain statements are 'True' or 'False'.

    I hope I've been able to give you some idea of what is involved.
    definite will follow your advice will take the test a year of my stay here...starting reading now though once in a while and always ask hubby and family here if i heard something i am not familiar with...like road signs, laws etc...i remember that question about woman allowed to vote..is it 1906 ) just a guess...

    ... No; in fact, the United Kingdom has operated a fully democratic system since 1928 ... when women were granted the same right as men to vote at age 21. The present voting age [for both sexes] however, was lowered to 18 in 1969 ... and consequently, all British-born and naturalised citizens - with a few exceptions, such as convicted prisoners - became eligible for inclusion on the Roll of Electors.
