Not necessary as the spouse of an EEA citizen, but you will need to pass it (and an English language test) if you plan to apply for British citizenship.

As an EU family member you apply for settled status not ILR. It is similar/same, but more importantly it's free of charge.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.
