Planning to take the Life in the UK Test

[joebloggs]

When should I take the test?

You should take the test when you are ready to apply for naturalisation or settlement. Test results are valid for an indefinite period however Home Office states they will keep the test results for a reasonable period so taking it too early may cause problems.

also there was some gossip a while ago the gov was thinking of making it valid for 2yrs,

so apply early but maybe not tooo early

Really Joe? I didn't realize it expire. I'm due to apply my citizenship this year so my test certificate will be 2 years this year to be exact. So hopefully it still ok.

Just Passed the Life in the UK test today! 5wks study and the test was really DIFFICULT. I am expecting it to be easy because most of my friends told me its easy. 4 people passed out of 7, some were 2nd tries and one was from Australia.

It took me almost 45 mins to finish the test. I keep on going back the questions many times and we dont have the same test questions. Most questions were a bit tricky. So my advice to anyone who is planning to take the test this year.

Make sure you read and understand the question many times because not all answers were found on the book.

and Thanks to Terpe and the rest of the members for your good and practical advice!

... Congratulations - you've done MORE than "alright", Des - you've done really well!

You're perfectly correct ... it's NOT all that easy!

Easy to say, maybe ... after it's OVER and they've already passed it!

4 people passed out of 7, some were 2nd tries and one was from Australia.

57 percent, approximately. Mind you ... that doesn't unduly surprise me ... given the high setting of the passmark at 75%!

So my advice to anyone who is planning to take the test this year.

Absolutely ...
