    Lightbulb Welcome Greenhorn

    Hi Guys ,
    I have recently passed the Life in the UK official Test easily and got the citizenship. I thought that sharing my experience will be beneficial for other.

    Any help or questions, please do not hesitate to shower me with.

    Red face My experience

    Well,
    My experience started with reading the book which was boring
    Then I bought CDs and learned while practicing the questions
    And then I tried a couple of website on the Internet to check my level and I felt I am ok.
    Finally I went with my wife and we both made it the first time
    But it doesn't end here:
    I created a new website, very similar to the official test, but I will abstain from mentioning it to avoid Advertising.

    Is there any question there about NHS? I mean Are we entitled for free medications and hospitalization, medicines and that? I am quite puzzled if newly arrived wife of a British husband is entitled with this. I was asked by our local pharmacist if I need to pay my medicines prescribed by my GP. And one of my co-employees said there are thousands of people enjoying that benefits which is not entitled to them.

    Anyone in the UK can use the NHS. You will have to pay for prescriptions (free in Wales ), but they are heavily subsidised, and only cost around £7

    Hello Penny,
    If you are not yet registered with a surgery (clinic) you can use what is called, NHS walk-in centre.
    You should not have a problem with registering with one that is next to where you live giving that your papers are legal.
    For details of your nearest centre call NHS Direct or visit the NHS website at: www.nhs.uk
    The pharmacist usually ask if you are going to pay as in many cases, some people do not pay for their prescriptions (eg pregnant women, children under 16).
    In any case, the maximum you should pay for a prescription will be something less than £7.
    Hope this helps

    Thanks Admin and Remontado! I have already registered in our local NHS. Just that they always asked me if I am going to pay my GP prescriptions and I said No and they issued medicines

    Hello, Remontado. Did you say you want to share your experience in taking the Life in the UK test? How? Are you going to put some examples of the questions you encountered and will share the correct answers in this thread? Is that allowed? I am interested about this although it's not yet time for me to take the exam but am preparing for it already. Btw, welcome to the forum ( a bit late, but better than never )
    A winning horse doesn't know why it runs in a race.
    It runs because of the hits of pain.
    Life is a race. God is your rider.
    So if you're in pain,
    then think God wants you to win

    Hello Sinkit, I have passed the exam after preparing it well.
    I am not sure about sharing the questions here, but anyway, I have then put in my mind to help people applying for the test and I developed a site similar to the official test, if you would like to have a look at it, it is called life in the UK test
    It is free now and is done to help people studying at the same time as testing themselves (try the cheat button).
    No worries about the greeting, better late than never.

    Hi,
    Depending on your status, but generally, you need to stay 5 years to be eligible for the permanent residence.
    In each year, you can leave the country for a total maximum of 90 days (per year).
    After having the residence for one year, you can apply for citizenship.
