INFO OVERLOAD!!!!!

Anyway, would this mean that if I would be granted an FLR today (2years valid since I applied before 9th July right?), by the time I would apply for ILR, should I still present the English qualification other than the Life in the UK test? What if I took the English test last year, 2011? It is only valid for 2 years, so would expire in 2013 right, would that mean I have to retake an English test by 2014??? This is sooooooo crazy and sooooooo difficult to comprehend!!!! my head hurts reading all these changes!!!
