How to pass "Life in the UK Test" ?

I recently passed the "Life in the UK Test" & I think I did pretty well & answered nearly all questions correctly except one. From my experience, I think the best way to get ready is using the official iPhone test app "Official Life in the UK Test – 3rd Edition" (I can't find an alternative Android App !)

Within the app, choose "Study", then "Start Study" & finally select a topic to study out of the main exam topics. You have a progress indicator that lets you know how much is covered, plus you can stop & resume anytime without having to go through all questions again. The nice thing is, for each question, it gives you some background on the right answer so you can say it is an indirect way to study the topics. If you find something bit unclear, you can always go & read more about it.

The sample screen captures below will give you a quick idea about what am talking about. Once you are done with all topics, you can practice with two or more exams & you will be ready to go.

Just take keep into mind that this approach is very good with someone who has some basic knowledge about history, you know what is the WW1 is, you know what is WW2 is, you had been someone following news & you know what is going around you ! if not, it might be better, you read the official handbook first which I have to say is entertaining & will help you know a lot about the country you decided to live in & be part of its community. The official handbook is also available on Amazon kindle, so I guess no excuses for not reading it :)
