Life in the UK test

How I passed the UK Citizenship exam in 5 minutes !

This article is to show the process I went through, to pass the United Kingdom Citizenship exam, and to highlight some of the most important things to consider, to be successful the first time with minimum delay, hassle and expense !.


You need to pass this simple test if you are applying for

1.  British Citizenship or.
2.  Indefinite Leave To Remain in the UK,

 

There are 2 tests, the old and the new, and you need to do only one !

  1. Old test, according to the latest news, will be available until the 15th of September 2007. I would highly recommend doing this one, simply it’s easier than the new one !
  2. New, I will write more about this when the old exam is not available any more...

"TAKE THE OLD TEST WHILE IT’S STILL AVAILABLE !!!”
All information here relates to the old exam.


Am I qualified to write this guide ?

I am a professional IT trainer, which means I train quite a lot of people for advanced technology exams . On top of that I personally take a lot of exams (at least 10 per year). I kind of enjoy the challenge :)


Why am I writing this guide ?

At the test centre I noticed many people taking more that 30 minutes to complete this exam and some were even on their 2nd or 3rd attempt !. I was asked by many how I managed to finish in 5 minutes. So the idea of this guide is to help you pass on your first attempt and without much pain. Of course preparation is critical to any exam !.


Who should read this guide ?

Anyone interested in or required to pass Life in the UK.



How to book the exam ?

1.  Booking the exam, this is the most important step !, as this gives you a deadline to work towards. Just remember, that this is a very simple test which can be completed in 5 minutes !

  1. Find your nearest Test Centre by entering your postcode at Life in the UK Test Centre locater.
  2. Call and book, please make sure they still have the “Version 1  of Life in the UK”.
    Give your self at least 2 weeks for preparation, The cost is £34, and you pay at the centre on the day of the exam (most centres accept Cash; Cheque; Credit/debit card)


2.If you are familiar with the Internet, (well you have found this site, so you are familiar) go to a Count down timer  and create a count down to the date. This will help you to keep track of your progress. It's very easy to forget a date !


3.Which study material to use ?
All questions are from the book, Life in the UK: A Journey to Citizenship : A Journey to Citizenship (ISBN-10: 0113413025 ISBN-13: 978-0113413027), you can download the relevant chapters from Life in the UK or borrow it from your local library or from a friend. This is the old version and not the new book !. I only used FREE material at the above site to prepare.
