also there was some gossip a while ago the gov was thinking of making it valid for 2yrs,

so apply early but maybe not tooo early
Really Joe? I didn't realize it expire. I'm due to apply my citizenship this year so my test certificate will be 2 years this year to be exact. So hopefully it still ok.
