Has anyone passed New version of life in the UK test

[immirams]

I have been looking at the questions and they are all trivial and so many bloody numbers one need to remember. This sounds more like an exam on british history.

Hi I passed in june and that was my first attempt....I would say it was ok, there wasn't so many of the numbers .

Hi I passed it last week. Although you have to prepare all of the book the questions were ok.

I passed the test early this month. You need to have an idea of the chronological order of events. I found it a bit hard too.

Use this website for practise (after reading the official guide): http://www.theuktest.com/

I failed the first time because I focused more on cramming the question and answer bit of the book without even opening the main book.

So I learned a BIG lesson and this time studied the main book (3rd) and passed all questions

There is a site with some useful questions (http://talk.uk-yankee.com/index.php?topic=78857.0;all)

Check out my study card for some common questions (http://quizlet.com/24565067/liuk-flash-cards/)

Also check out this score card by ymberlenis - Quite a comprehensive one (http://quizlet.com/22344431/life-in-the ... ash-cards/)

Hopefully this should get you started but be-warned study the book - really can't emphasize on this...

[gre.bm691]

Its easy provided you read the books.

I read two books, the main one and the Q and A one. I recommend to read the history chapter at least twice. Other sections are OK.

I have the two books if anyone wants it. PM me

Also when answering questions, don't panic as you may be tempted to go back and change some answers

just a casual question
it's a long 3 yrs road ahead for me before i complete my ILR continuous period,
so should i bother about LIK test now, or can wait for sometime before attempting it?

Considering immigration rules are changed every 4-6 months these days, I would wait...

The LIUK results are valid only for 2yrs. They might even revise the syllabus till then. Also, Rules are about to change in Oct when on there is a special English requirement. Seniors will correct me if I am wrong here. But I think. you need to wait.

My ILR due in Feb, Can I give LIUK test now or wait for Oct ?
Should I buy all three books for preparing ?

If I understand if you degree is taught in English then you do'nt need ESOL even after October ??

Who told you this or just a wild guess? The test result is valid forever i.e lifetime.Go through the link below

How long is my certificate valid for?
Your Life in the UK Test Certificate does not have an expiry date on it. You should therefore keep it in a safe place until you are ready to submit the original with your application for Citizenship or Settlement.

We are not able to provide you with further copies of your test certificate. If you lose it, you should contact the Home Office who may ask you to take your test again.

thanks all for replying.
Reason i asked is, one of my friend who has same timeline like me has passed LIK recently, and did so as one of his friend told him to do before test gets tougher.

Oct 2013: KOLL requirement - read the whole document, not just first page.

This has been discussed to death on this forum, please search existing posts before posting queries. What we know is what is stated in the above document. Do not dream up horror scenarios and ask for advice.

Too late now, the new (tougher) version of the test is already in effect.

Thanks for the link. It clearly mentions that someone with degree taught in English don't need to go for English Language test.
so i guess someone like me who has claimed English language point in Tier-1(General) based on degree taught in Emglish, is automatically exempt from the test?

[deleted_user]

So here we go again.

Seriously guys, the document says what it says. We dont know more, so you are asking us to speculate? If you cant understand the English in the document, you definitely need an English language course.

It's easy, I finished it in under 10 minutes (and I'm a uni dropout).

As someone said, exact dates don't matter as long as you know the rough order of events. Just read through the entire book and make short notes, even the bits you think you may know already.

Hi KarthikJ / CSREDDY25 / closer25

Would be grateful if you could post the exact text on the new LIUK pass certificate for the benefit of the members. Please omit any personal details.

Many thanks for your help.

[Andrew*Debbie]

It doesn't say much besides that you've passed.

If no one else posts, I'll try and put up something tonight.

Hi,

Its very easy, dont panic, keep target for 18,

Believe it or not I have completed in < 3 minutes with 100% correct

[Ramana66]

Thanks a lot. Myself and my family already got the ILR, but wanted to know if there is any change in what they state on the letter after new test. Though, my son, who will turn to 18 years in a month's time (he already got the ILR) may need to write the LIUK for his Naturalisation application. Hence my query.
