Acing the UK citizenship test with practice quiz

Acing the UK citizenship test is easy if you actualize these tips. The importance of adequate preparation cannot be stressed enough. So, don’t be in a hurry to enrol for the actual test if you don’t feel confident. Instead, take your time to get the necessary documents, familiarise yourself with the content covered, and do multiple mock tests. Upon doing this, you won’t believe how easy it is to nail the official test.

Some basic facts about the test

Becoming a citizen of a new country is important. Citizenship gives you security, a chance at better employment, and also the opportunity at a better way of life. The United Kingdom is no different. Becoming a citizen of that country opens up a lot of good doors for you and your loved ones to step through.

But like other countries there are some qualifications that go hand in hand with becoming a British citizen. For those that only want naturalization here are the criteria you must meet:

  1. You are 18 or older
  2. Be of good character with no immigration violations for 10 years
  3. Intend to remain in Britain for a very long time
  4. Know the English language
  5. Pass the UK Citizenship test

If you are marrying a British citizen then the only difference from the above is

  1. Be of sound mind
  2. Have been granted indefinite leave to stay

There are a couple of other requirements that pertain to how many days you can be absent from the country over the previous 5 years and how many years you have lived in the country. If you are marrying a Brit, then your spouse needs to meet the financial requirements as well.

The good news is that you can take the test as many times as you want till you pass. One person too 65 times before they were able to pass the test and at 50 British Pounds, that is an expensive journey
