life in the uk test

Post by hsmpilr » Sun Apr 28, 2013 10:23 am

Been reading this book.
I am not able to remember the history and dates. Is there any person who has finished this test who can give us a feedback on the test. If too much emphasis is given on history and dates then i am a dead meat.

I just have given the test yest and the test did have 1-2 questions date related and few more from history. It's quite evenly distributed among all chapters. I would recommend to make notes of dates, monarchs, imp sports personnel, artists and musicians. Then try questionnaire. As along as you continuously able to pass mock tests you should be OK. It isn't that difficult at all as it may appear in the beginning. Good luck

That is comforting. Thanks. I do pass the tests in the mock exams. The problem is I just-pass. 18/24. rarely 19.

You could try the Mock Tests and practice until you score above 20 and then read the relevant chapter.Then you will remember the important facts. This is how I did.Managed to get all 24 correct in the Exam.

You can buy Practice Questions from the TSO Book shop. Or else you have to do Mock Tests online. There are several organizations providing Mock Tests for a Fee.

I thought they dont tell how many you scored, cos I have asked when I passed she said she can only tell me that Im passed. I did the test in 4 mins like another 2 people. It was very easy before they changed it I dont know how difficult right now though.

guys don't be scared on this test, just take it as simple, and study with fun, cos i studied the old test and i found really interest on the Life in UK test,cos i learned new things, best thing is read each chapters one by one and discuss with your partner,

for example read one whole chapter and tell your partner like a story, then you can easily pass the exam..dont feel like you are doing a PHD, to me this exam like a nice stories. cos i love reading stories.

i did this mock test :http://www.theuktest.com/life-in-the-uk-test/1
with old test syllabus. but i am not sure what are the new mock test looks like,. but please google it you will find it,

and i spend only 2 weeks to study and do the exam, and i did not study full time...just went through the theory on my lunch break ...but went through all the mock test on this link at night http://www.theuktest.com/life-in-the-uk-test/1

if you can do at least 1000 mock test questions then u can pass easily ..

Yes. But the new test ? Dates are too confusing to remember as-well-as difficult. I am not sure if anyone here completed the new test who can throw some light on what is the empahsis given ? is it too much on dates or knowing the concepts ?

To remember the Dates is to take short Notes.Revise it as often you can. After some time you would automatically remember them.

Hi,

I have passed the test successfully today and based on my experience I can say that you should learn dates but only important ones. Although in my paper none of the date related questions were asked. Questions were more based on important events and people involved. I remember few questions like

1) after glorious revolution what kind of country UK is ? - constitutional monarchy
2) after the defeat in the war where did Charles II bided himself? - oak tree
3) how much amount claims can be done using small claim procedure in England and Wales? - 5000
4) are all common wealth countries the one which were ruled by British empire ?-false
5) who was William wilberforce? - person involved in removal of slave trade
6) where is loch lamond? - Scotland
7) patron of Scotland? St. Andrew
8) for whom battle of bannuckborn fought? - Scottish
9)what re the responsibilities if British citizen?
10) how many jury members are present in England jury- 12
11) purpose os small claim court?
12) when did Nelson died in which battle? - battle of trafalgar
13)about individual electoral registration process in Ireland
14) what is the other name of James bible?
15)who made the first coins? - Iron Age people
Etc...hope this will help...

I just asked my british colleague this one his reply:

"In a barrel of wine at the closet pub" :lol:

Well wine barrels are made from oak so he was very close, shall we say?

When I was doing my LIUK (old syllabus) I actively involved my colleagues, lot of their answers were wrong and downright funny but it helped me remember the stuff. Its more fun doing British history with the brits! And you get to learn some practical stuff off them too...
