Government unveils changes to UK citizenship test set to be introduced in March

I assume that all those having already passed the old "Life in the UK" test and that have ILR will NOT be asked to retake the NEW test on applying for citizenship?

... DEFINITELY not, no!

It's better not to assume anything about UKBA in these days.

All I can tell you is that there has been no announcements about the validity of tests already taken and passed.
I think it would be highly unlikely that the UKBA will refuse to honour any pass certificates issued before this new test comes into effect. After all they are allowing folks to book and take the new test right now and up to the new downdate.

Remember though it's important not to lose/misplace any current test certificate. You will not be allowed a replacement certificate and you will have to take the test again.

Hope that helps.
