The number of tests required for British citizenship depends on the specific route you're taking. You'll need to pass at least one test, but potentially more, depending on your individual circumstances.
Life in the UK Test
The most common test is the Life in the UK Test. This assesses your knowledge of British life, history, and culture. It's a multiple-choice test with 24 questions.
English Language Tests
Depending on your circumstances, you may also need to take an English language test. This can include tests like:
- Secure English Language Test (SELT): This test assesses your ability to speak, read, write, and listen in English.
- International English Language Testing System (IELTS): This test is widely recognized and accepted for immigration purposes.
Other Tests
You may also need to take additional tests based on your specific route to citizenship.
For example:
- Citizenship Test for Children: Children aged 18 to 21 who were born in the UK to non-British parents may need to take a special test.
- Knowledge of English Test: This test is for those applying for citizenship through marriage or civil partnership.
It's essential to consult the official UK government website for the most up-to-date information on test requirements.
