Life in the UK Test

Post by chorc123 » Fri Feb 28, 2014 9:16 pm

Hi,
We have passed Life in the UK test about 4 years ago for ILR application. Can anyone tell me if we need to take the New English test for applying citizenship?

I don't think you need to.

English Level B1 test certificate is required for citizenship applications, unless you are from a majority English speaking county, i.e. USA, Australia, New Zealand, etc. LIUK is not sufficient to meet the English requirement.

You don't need to attend a course, you can book to do the test to get the certificate.

Can anyone pass me a link about this English Test? I do not think I have any troubles to pass them however, I have to arrange my time to prepare and sit for it.
Also, can anyone tell me if I need to pay any fees for going college for preparing this English course?
Thank you very much.

Thank you for all advice.
We are in North East England, I have searched online last night about these courses and exams. I have not decided which exam board I am going to go yet. Because all colleges/exam centres state that I have to 'ring for details'. I will ring them next week.
Yes, time and money are the biggest issue!!!
