    as its a new test, most people are unsure of what it is, who needs to take it and where it can be taken, etc. thou you are providing a service thats needed by some people on here, your not the only one to provide that service but are the only one to post about your service. there is a fine line btw advertising a service that people need and spamming
    Hi

    What you say is correct and unfortunately there are people using this new legislation to 'heat up' any discussions. The test is actually in 4 parts, with there still being some uncertainty on the part of the UKBA about which sections are required. The 4 part test takes approximately 3 hours, and as it is an on-line test many of our candidates who are not familiar with computers are encouraged to spend about an hour with one of our teachers showing them how to use the mouse, etc.., so we always suggest that the candidate allows for a 4 hour session.

    To date I would say approximately 60% of our candidates require some assistance with the use of computers.

    The actual test is relatively straight forward and I would suggest that there is no need for any review course unless the candidate is really unsure of the basic rules of the English language.

    well i'm sure that info will help some people on here ,

    well from the ukba website it says

    'you will not need to demonstrate your reading and writing skills'
    (as I would have thought the reading skills will demonstrated in the 'life in the uk' test)

    I'm not sure how long this test will survive before someone challenges it in court ( as with the minimum age being 21 for spouse visa's.)
