If you don't like to take the Life in UK test, alternatively you can take the ESOL with Citizenship instead.
I had mine done with Best Training Centre.
I didn't have much time to read the damn book as I was studying Business Administration at the time I am on process of my ILR.

ESOL with citizenship, they will interview you first so they know which level you can join.
On your exam day, one of the immigration staff will test your English and they will record your conversation
and if you pass, you will have your certificate and you can use it for your ILR and Citizenship.
All in all its much easier than reviewing the whole damn book which most of our spouses can't even pass although they are born in UK! (Not that I tested my husband, he will pass it for sure as he is very good in history. He's a wide reader lives in books every single day)
I know many people failed Life in UK test several times! And they are upset about it!
