Am I qualified to write this guide ?
First of all, I got through this exam in less than 5 minutes !. 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 ?
During my latest attempt at the new exam, at the Life in the UK test centre, I noticed many people taking more than 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 with minimum pain. Of course preparation is critical to any exam !.
Who should read this guide ?
Anyone interested in or required to pass the latest version of Life in the UK.
