Well done and congratulations to you for passing! Hurrah!!

I took my test 3 years ago. I studied 12,000 years of history, everything dating back to the stone age - to modern music and art - all for 24 multiple choice questions that took me 9 minutes to finish. I got 23 out of 24 correct. The one I missed was a modern artist. I honestly don't know about any modern artist other than music. This may sound silly - but all of that studying boiled down to 24 multiple choice questions felt anticlimactic. As if I had been cheated because I studied harder for this test than my state nursing exams! I told you it sounded silly. :D PS: I had the book as well - but my favorite way to study? Taking loads of practice tests. Those stuck in my head for ages.

Even ‘senior’ school tends to be mostly a private term other then a few pockets in the north of the country. Tests I had to do in pencil were anything marked by machines on multiple choice papers. In primary school this was things like the 11+. In secondary school only the official exams had to be in pen, most of the time in class exams people used pencil so they could rub things out- we had to use pencil in maths exams for anything that required graphs or drawing in case we did it wrong. In medical school it’s pretty much all multiple choice exams marked by robot so you have to use pencil.

Hi Dear have you pass your Life in the uk test

Hi - thanks for this and other videos. I have a funny story out my wife's application for indefinite leave. She is an Australian citizen and unlike me was not also eligible for a UK passport as she was 6th generation Aussie. She passed the citizenship test and then like you we decided to do the fast track that then involved going to the Govt Offices in Croydon and doing it on the day. I scrutinised the forms - got the 20 pieces of official bills, statements etc in our joint names and though it did not say on the forms dug out our marriage certificate. However in her first year when driving in the UK on her Aussie license she had picked up between Henley and Reading a speeding ticket from a speed camera. Though she had then got her UK license she was offered the choice of 3 penalty points and a fine or the option of doing a speed awareness course with no penalty. When it came to filling the indefinite leave forms they wanted to know all convictions, including traffic offenses. An Aussie cricketer had failed to get indefinite leave because of drink driving. I rang Thames Valley Police who could not tell me the status of her traffic offenses, if any. We declared it as it is safer to be honest. Anyway we rock up, they want to see the marriage certificate (though not listed) and then at the final interview the official says - you have shown us the 20 pieces of information in your joint names can I see one in your wife's name. I said but the forms do not say that to which he said, "they are ambiguous". (Are they heck!). So we said the only thing we have here today in her name (worrying we do our fee) is a speeding ticket . To which he said, "we have all got those - they give them out at Asda so that will do". So we have dined out on the story she got indefinite leave to the UK on the basis of a speeding ticket! The sequel is we spent 5 years in the UK and then returned to Australia. Though pre-CV19 I used to visit twice a year to see my mother the last time was in February 2020. My wife was not interested in the 21 hour flight for a week so she has only been back once and hence lost her indefinite leave. Like you, there are things I miss in both countries - we have Target but no Waitrose or M and S. I am a great supporter of the NHS but I think the Aussie Medicare hybrid system is even better. Our GP appointments are mainly free and last at least 20 minutes - 40 for a long appointment. Having had Boris Johnson as a local MP in Henly I am not in the least surprised how badly the UK has faired with Covid. Besides international travel where I live in Sydney, NSW we are basically back to normal. Anyway enough of sensitive points - and thank you for the videos.

The only real downside is that we are a long way from anywhere - Singapore and Bali are considered near and they are 6-8 hours flight from Sydney. We are wealthier - average salaries in most jobs are higher than UK and US ; have a good public health and social security systems; and our politics with compulsory voting and proportional representation are not at the extremes of right or left. It might have changed but we are far less in my view snobbish and "up ourselves" than some in the UK. If you met the Prime Minister in the Street (as I once did) you would greet them with G'Day John, Julia or Scott. Our culture is historically Anglo but all our economic and political relationships are now with East and South Asia. Asia now provides the most migrants, tourists and international students. We have been comparatively successful with COVID because we followed East Asia rather than UK and Europe or US - and boy are we glad. New Zealand (who have the best Prime Minister in the world) is small, slightly more Anglo, very, very pretty in a Scottish sort of way.

Oh yes, my British husband definitely struggled!

I suspect the test is designed to identify and weed out people who know nothing of the UK at all. it's not about preparing for life in the uk, it's about identifying obvious people who are not serious about being here.

I would never have passed that and I’m English

Haha, my English husband struggled as well!!

Perhaps one of the questions should have been "Is it an offence to film flooded fields while driving". Answer: Absolutely!

she was quite clearly sat in the passenger seat and did confirm her husband was driving, I'm guessing you're not British and have no idea what side the driver sits over here??

Sadly, those 24 questions are random and you have no idea what will be on the test. So you have to study it all!

I am British and don’t know Any of these answers 🙈

One question which always bothers me about Americans, why do you always like to write with pencils? What is wrong with a pen?

I'm guessing you passed?

Interesting fact: the US army invented the multiple choice test because most of their candidates could not string a sentence together.

@@GirlGoneLondonofficial Have to admit I did chuckle at the pronunciation, but well done on passing the (stupid) test. Ridiculous that you even have to do that. Just another money grab. :(

What a ridiculous, pointless test. I'm 52 and have lived in England my whole life, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have passed that (I hated History at school). Why on earth do you need to know half of that nonsense in order to live here?? People never seem to learn from past mistakes anyway so why bother cluttering your brain with all that stuff lol

It tests that you can read and understand basic English.

What a pointless test

Apparently Northern Ireland and Wales don't count in a citizenship whereas whinging Scottish nationalists have to be catered for.

What a lot of bullshit. Welcome to UK Citezenship for gods sake !!!

Don’t bother, the UK is awful apart from the NHS! Move to mainland Europe instead

I passed my test yesterday. A few tips: I did a mock test every morning and evening for 2 weeks before my exam. I found the questions on the official Life in the UK website more useful than any other site as they seemed the most relevant. I also made short notes on the most important information and dates to help me memorise them. If you have the time watch a few short videos on British History. When doing the test I made sure I read the question twice before attempting to answer. If you would like me to share with you the notes I made please contact me. It contains all the relevant and most important information you need to memorise for the test. Using this helped me study for it in only 2 weeks 🙂
