If you are applying for citizenship or indefinite leave to remain, one of the ways in meeting the language requirement and life in the UK is by taking the Life in the UK test.
The Life in the UK test is a computer-based exam that is only available at an accredited Life in the UK Test centre. The Life in the UK test has 24 questions with a time limit of 45 minutes. The questions chosen for the Life in the UK test are based off of the information in the official handbook for the class, “Life in the UK: A Journey to Citizenship” (second edition). This is the only official handbook for this test, and can be obtained at any official Life in the UK testing centre, or might be provided at certain ESL classes. All answers, as well as questions can be found in this particular book, and with the adequate amount of practice, the Life in the UK test shouldn’t pose any difficulties.
This particular test can cost anywhere from £33.28 (GBP sterling), and the official book usually costs around 10 Euros. You are aloud to take the test as many times as needed, however this may be a costly exercise if you do not prepare yourself adequately. You should also make sure that when studying for the test you read the read relevant chapters in your Life in the UK handbook thoroughly, until you feel you are confident enough to take the test. There are also practice tests available that may assist you more than just by going through the book on its own. Taking practice tests are an excellent way of preparing for the real thing, and are highly recommended to anyone that is taking the test.
Before taking the Life in the UK test, make sure you have proper identification such as a passport, a full or provisional UK photo card license, the proper immigration status documents that are endorsed with a UK Residence Permit, as well as any other home office documents, such as a Certificate of Identity Document, Stateless Person Document, or Convention Travel Document. If you are confused about any citizenship questions, or need more information about the Life in the UK exam, it is recommended that you contact a UK Immigration lawyer for further information.
