Life in the UK test failed

Post by Sean7398 » Sat May 30, 2009 6:53 pm

Hi everyone, My wife was only 2 questions away from passing the Life in the UK test, but sadly she did not get them right. Is there a limit to how many tests one could take theoretically??

Also, what re peopls opinion on the test, I think it is absolutely a disgrace that people should know about migration (chapter 2)-when half the UK citizen population don't have a clue either!

Other peoples view is irrelevant, because its the law. If you cant meet the law, then you dont qualify.

Where about's do you live in UK, as there are other options you can do other than what your wife has failed on.

Dear BatleyKhan

I appreciate that if its the law, and it is required, then so be it. I'm not disputing that really. What does annoy me is that there are so many people out there who get here on a free ride (UK Border Force on TV gives a few examples), and we have to do some really hard work to pass tests and gather information like letters, bank statements etc. I know that is what is required but, those illegal people here work and earn loads of money, and they don't have to worry about a thing!!

P.S. Is there a limit to the number of tests one can do? not that we're planning on doing a 100 or anything..lol.

There is no limit to the number of times you can take the test. Candidates are advised to study the handbook further before trying again and feedback is given to unsuccessful candidates to help with this. However, if you repeatedly fail the test it may mean that you should consider taking an ESOL with citizenship course instead.

What does that have to do with anything? There is always someone trying to get around the system and frankly in every country, the citizens know less than the immigrant in terms of migration that's the benefit from being born in the country you are a national of.
