I have a problem with point 1.22 (knowledge of language/life in the UK) in the AN application.
I am not sure I need to pass the Life in the UK test if I am Polish and:
I passed ESOL Level 2 in June 2009,
I passed ESOL Entry 3 in December 2007,
I passed IELTS in December 2009,
and also I am in Uni (3rd year) BA Accounting&Finance at the moment
Could anyone tell me is it enough to meet requirements for my knowledge of language please?
Thank you!

Thank you for your reply. I read the website and I am still confused. Is it mean that i don not have to do the Life in the UK test?
Thanks

Did your ESOL courses include the citizenship content??

If not, you will need to do the Life in the UK test.

Thank you for replay.
I do not know if it will be better to call the the college... but
I have University of Cambridge ESOL.
On the certificate is Cambridge ESOL Skills for life and on the bottom says Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) and Rewarding Learning (CEA).
I am just wandering is it enough?
Thanks

... and each ESOL level had 3 exams: Writing, reading and speaking and listening.

Only you and your college will know if your ESOL course had the citizenship element, which according to the link I provided says (note the date of the changes) :
The Nationality Regulations for ESOL courses changed on 7 April 2010. If you want to demonstrate your knowledge of language and life with an ESOL qualification, you must now meet the following requirements:
You must have attended your ESOL course at an accredited college.
The course must have included citizenship materials derived from the document 'Citizenship Materials for ESOL Learners' (ISBN: 1-84478-5424).
You must have obtained a relevant ESOL qualification from an approved awarding body.
You must demonstrate that you have made relevant progress.

I went to my College and what they said is that because I did ESOL Level 1 and Level 2 (above Entry 2 and Entry 3 which I did as well) I have to do "Life in the UK Test".
In addition - my ESOL has citizenship materials.
Is it right?
Thanks
