The Life in the UK Citizenship Test is one of the requirements needed to earn the approval of the Home Office in your application for an Indefinite Leave to Remain. And if you finally decide to take this test instead of undergoing classes on English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) combined with other citizenship classes, you might as well prepare well for it.

This examination is administered to over 90 test centres all over United Kingdom for people who are hoping to apply for British citizenship. It costs £35 on application, and it will take about 7 days at the least, or 2-3 weeks, to be able to actually take the exam following a booking. This examination, which is composed of 24 random UK-related questions, is to be taken in 45 minutes. And the results must display a citizenship proficiency of 75% or 18 out of 24 correct answers. If one succeeds in getting the target average and higher, they will be given a results notification letter to be attached with the application for citizenship that they will be submitting to the Home Office.

So how does one prepare for this exam? This examination relies largely on the officially published handbook which covers basic to vital information on British life and general information which is called Life in the UK: A Journey to Citizenship 2008. Mostly recommended for review today is the Chapters 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the 2nd Edition. This is where random test questions are taken, therefore, you must be able to master it well.

This book is the key to your success in the Life in UK Citizenship Test, and it must be regarded with utmost diligence and focus.
