Please give some detail about your UK immigration history, to ensure that no one is confused by the terminology being used.

Thanks for that, no it is not necessary to pass the Life in the UK Citizenship test, in order to get PR. Indeed PR status granted automatically on the 5th anniversary of starting to exercise EU Treaty Rights in the UK. The EEA4 application will merely produce confirmation of the PR status already held.

But it is necessary to pass that test if later you wish to apply for Naturalisation as British.

Are you able to get a new passport now, without too much delay? If so, I think you should do just that.

Well if no new passport possible, so be it.

As regards your wife, it needs to be shown that she has been exercising EU Treaty Rights in the UK. But you say that she has been a student, and accordingly I say, include proof that that was the case, as well as enclosing details of the employment income, such as it is during that student period.
