    LITUK Test, Passed!!!

    I am one of those who decided to take the Life in the UK Test sooner than later, after finding out that the new test will take effect on March 25. Luckily, I passed it. Yey!!! No more worrying.

    To those who would like to take the test before March 25. Here’s what I did:

    Before the test:
    1. Book my test - http://lifeintheuktest.ukba.homeoffi...ooking_10.html
    2. Finished reading my study guide handbook
    3. Then, focused in answering 74 practice tests, three consecutive days before my scheduled exam. I took note of questions that I did not answer correctly and reviewed them.
    4. Read this guide also: http://lifeintheuktest.ukba.homeoffi...te/nav_10.html

    During the test:

    Before I was seated, there was a brief interview. They looked for my BRP ID which I used when I booked the test. I was asked my complete name, date of birth and reason for taking the test, then, signed a form.

    5. I did not rush. I read the question twice or thrice before answering. Make sure you understand the questions and choices as they can be very tricky, e.g.:

    Which of the statement is true?
    a. The Queen is the Head of the State of United Kingdom and no other countries.
    b. The Queen is the Head of the State of United Kingdom and many other countries.

    Which of the TWO rights gained by women before 1900? (You have to familiarize with the years because the given choices were all the rights gained by women from 1800s to 1960’s/1970’s).

    7. We were provided with a piece of paper and pen where I wrote the number of items that I was not sure with my answers. I read somewhere that you can ask for a pen and paper if they are not available.

    8. After that, I run through all the items (1-24) to review my answers.

    I left the testing room as soon as I finished the test. Went to a room where I got the result immediately.

    The practice tests I used are from my handbook and online - http://www.theuktest.com/life-in-the-uk-test/1
    I thought I would seriously study for a month but it only took me two weeks of reading and reviewing. I have no work yet so it was an advantage. The reason I said that is not to brag but to encourage those who are having seconds thought on taking the exam before the new test. If I can do it, then everyone else can. Study and focus.

    My best wishes to all the loving wives who have to go all through this just to be with their husbands.

    Thank you, Michael. I hope you were able to get a refund of the £50.
    I was confused because I booked using my BRP ID and brought the same on the day of my test and had no problem.

    Good luck to Maritess!

    Congrats Filbrit!

    I'm scheduled for the test on 12th March! I'm done with reading the book already and doing the practice tests. So far, I haven't failed in any practice tests yet..I hope I'd be able to pass just like you!

    Thanks Ms. Rayna. The practice tests helped me a lot to remember things. Good luck and God bless you. I'm sure you will pass it also.

    Wise move! Congratulations & well done ... and all the best also, to both Rayna and Maritess, later this month.

    Congratulations. I just arrived in England last Feb 23. If I wanted to take the exam this March, do you think its too early?

    Well done it's wise to get these things sorted ASAP.

    Is this test still full of questions aimed at the sub continent like "I have 3 wives and 14 children - is there any limit to the amount of child benefit I can claim ?"

    ... it's never too early; indeed the earlier the better! I would, however, strongly advise you act NOW - and apply to an authorised Testing Centre closest to where you live - in order to secure a vacant slot before March 25.

    Good Luck.

    Oh ... , Rose ... hadn't realised you were also about to take the 'Life in the UK Test' that soon.

    So my very BEST wishes to you as well!

    Thank you, Rose. Needs lots of memorising that I had to make a table to plot the different dates, percentages, events, etc. in each of the four countries.
    Best of luck to you on the 21st! Don't stop answering practice tests until then.
    I'm positive you, Rayna and Maritess will pass.

    I don't want to take anything away from your achievement. Well done indeed, just I want to suggest to those who will follow in your path to take up all the time available to you to review your answers.
    Keep thinking keep checking.
    Use that time you have, you'll not get it back. Be sure on your answers.

    When my wife took her test (many years ago) quite a few folks were done and gone within 15-20 minutes.
    Most had failed. Take the time you have to feel comfortable with no regrets.

    Just my 2 centavos
