    Mick



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    Yes ... the publication Joe mentions - and I have highlighted - is the only OFFICIALLY-recognised one for the purposes of the 'Life in the UK' Test. It is available from the likes of Waterstones & W.H. Smith and/or any quality High Street bookstore ... and priced around the £10~£12 mark. Don't be tempted by cheaper alternatives.

    There's also an accompanying handbook containing sets of 'Practice Qs & As ' ... a very worthwhile "investment" for a few extra quid.

    Oh ... it might be a good to check with the bookstore just in case, by any chance, an updated version has [recently] been/is likely to be introduced to supersede the 2nd Edition of the 2007 manual on which - to the best of my knowledge - current tests are based.

    Hello there to Mick & Myrna, a warm welcome here to the forum.
    Well done for preparing in good time for the Life in UK test.
    The questions are ALL based on specified chapters of the book. Preparation is the key and also allowing time for the test itself, which can be taken as many times as needed.
    Practice, practice and more practice.

    Youre a long way from home now then! Did you move because of your job? I originally moved to Bradford in 1967 from North Wales.........

    Join "the club"! Mind you, it's hardly surprising ... when the pass mark is 75% or above!
