Not a bestseller by choice, it is a required purchase June 4, 2007

This book is a forced purchase in order to comply with the new Immigration laws passed in April of 2007 for those who are seeking settlement visas and are not yet eligible to seek citizenship in addition to those who are seeking citizenship.

I would not recommend this book for any other reason. It is what it is - a study guide to take a test. Some of the information is questionable and vague and not a book I would choose to read.

For those of you curious about the test - it is simple, easy multiple choice.

If you read chapters 2 to 6 and remember the details you will pass the citizenship test with no problems. No other books needed. All questions are taken from this book. Good luck!

How to Pass the UK settlement and citizen test May 21, 2007
33 out of 39 found this review helpful

Typical thoughts that went through my head as I thought about having to take a test that could ultimately have me deported if I couldn't pass...Oh my God how am I going to pass this when I am so nervous? What if I can't pass it? I can't spend all that money to retake it over and over again. (In my head I was thinking I would have to take it A LOT.) Of course, I am slightly neurotic and I worried I would never get to see my husband again because I would be deported as I wouldn't be able to pass the test or get extended stay so I could pass the test. Then I came to my senses and start looking for all the help I could find.

I have to say this book is a life saver for me and the only book you will need. Almost all the anxiety and worrying thoughts disappeared. I took the questions from the subsections in each chapter and created my own study guide with answers. I studied this the night before the test and refreshed what I knew in a study session before the test with my husband. Also this book contains very useful information and websites that is helpful to you throughout your life in the UK.

Last week, I took my test. I was nervous before about passing, but I felt prepared. If it wasn't for this book, I wouldn't have passed my test. However, the test was not as difficult as I thought it would be and I completed it within minutes. There were questions I wouldn't have known if I didn't have the book unless I spent considerable time going over every aspect of government and life in general.

I recommend doing a study guide for people who are really nervous or have difficulty remembering information or learning. Also I recommended reading all the chapters throughly except for Chapter 1 because there may be some information that will prove useful. ;) It is definitely worthwhile.

This is a fantastic course book for learners of ESOL preparing to take their Citizenship Test. The layout and content are a real improvement on the first edition. I will certainly be encouraging my learners to use this book in order to ensure they pass with flying colours!
