Well if a person was over or under a certain age or had certain disablities they would not have to take the test.
You can also take a course where you have to show you have improved your english by a certain level and extra classes in citzenship are bolted on so you kind of do the test as you go along.

But most find it far easier to keep learning english at home and socially and take the test.
