Life in the UK Test - Study advice

Nate_baby · #1 (**permalink**) 7th February 2008, 01:06 PM

Hi everyone, new to the forums here and was wondering if anyone had advice about preparing for this exam. I understand "Life in the United Kingdom: A Journey to Citizenship - 2nd Edition (2007)" book is the one to study from but are there specific parts i need to concentrate on, or does it change all the time so just get a full over view of the manual.

Also after I have completed the exam what the next step might be.

Any other help or advice is appreciated. Thanking you in advance!

Hi and welcome to the forum. It is a couple of years now since I last glimpsed those books, as I used to help my students to study for the exam. I do know that there is some online websites that can give you exam practice and lots of information. I think you will find links to the websites within the book. If you can't find anything, let me know and I will search out the websites for you.

Many of my students had very limited English, but managed to pass the test. So please don't worry too much.

Regards

Michelle

Hello, there. It really isn't hard at all. When I called to make an appointment for myself to take it, I was told to focus on Chapters 2-6...not to worry about reading Chapters 1 or 7-9. I will be applying in April. This is a great website to take practice tests, and has great info about it as well. Once you take the test and pass, if you meet all the requirements for citizenship, you just simply fill out the application, and send it in, along with payment and any other documents you have to send. Good luck!

This is a very simple exam. You need answer 24 questions and get 18 if them correct to score 75%

Good luck !

If you are planning to apply for British citizenship or you want to apply for permanent residency, one of the critical requirements is to pass the Life in UK Test. ref Life in the UK Test blog
