Life in the UK Test, Study Guide (2011 Edition) » That’s not a joke. In two years, if I’d like to keep living in the UK, I have to pass an exam about life in the country. Apparently, knowing how many members the Houses of Parliament has or in which days are the bank holidays in England show to the government that I am well-integrated to the British Society, indeed (funny to see that many Brits don’t know the answer for some questions). Detail: the official material was released in 2007, so who is going to take the exam must answer according to this material - with many old information, such as the national minimum wage rates, which have changed many times since then.
I read this book now because, in fact, it’s a good introduction about the country (at least for me, as a journalist) - from how the educational systems are in the UK work to how to do in case of a problem with your neighbour (hope I don’t need to apply this one). But I’ll leave the practice tests to be done in two years.
