Do I still need English test? already have "Life in the UK"

[Sabriina]

Hello all,
after 5 years and 3 months... I finally got my PR 1 year ago and now (6years and 3 months) after arriving in the UK, I`m filling out the AN-Form.
But I`ve now stumbled across an English test section. I`m slightly confused... last year mid March 2013 I already did and passed my "Life in the UK Test" (before it was changed on the 25th of March 2013).
1. Do I still need to do and pass an English B1 ESOL Entry Level 3 test???? this is slightly annoying. I grew up in Sweden and I spoken English my entire life...
2. If I need to do the English test is there anywhere I can do and pass the test within 1 hour or do I need to sit 4 days in some English course??
Cheers and greets.

1. Everyone needs to pass the test.
2. Test takes 10 minutes, you don't have to attend any course.

You sure? I'm sure a UK degree is acceptable too

[milan69]

I took the test with Trinity College, there wasn't anything else available in Edinburgh at the time. 125 quid.

In London, there are plenty of different providers. This one seems to be chaper:

yes I did click on it previously. but my question was regarding the different test there seems to be B1, ESOL 3, CERE 5 all with different costs.

For naturalization you need B1 / ESOL Entry level 3.
