Life in the UK registration mistake

When I registered for the test, I chose the reason to do the test is for the indefinite leave to remain. However, after I passed the test I found out that for my circumstances, I require it for citizenship not indefinite leave to remain. Will my pass certificate be accepted when I apply for the citizenship or should I do the test again?

It is the same test for ILR and citizenship. There is no issue.

So just to confirm, the purpose of doing the test is irrelevant when applying for citizenship? As long as I have the pass certificate it doesn't matter what my original purpose of doing the test was for. right?

Thats correct. Its valid for ILR and Citizenship and does not have any expiry date. Personally the test is BS just way to make money.

You need to meet the LIUK for citizenship but as LIUK does NOT expire, you can use the same test for ILR and Citizenship. This has been answered many times on the forum and the citizenship AN guide is clear on this.
You are overthinking perhaps.

I might be overthinking this but my experience with the home office taught me that those people need the smallest reason to reject your application so you will have to reapply and pay again.
Thanks for all the help guys

There is no issue here. If the name is the same as your passport, even if the wrong way round, you are clearly the same person, that is besides the other identifying information available to HO from LIUK etc.
