yay!

I tried the sample test from this site that markets guides to the 'Life in the UK' test and got an 83% (I like to think that if I had studied I would have given a correct answer to at least one of the two questions I missed).

It sounds as if the revised version of the test they are doing from this autumn onwards is slightly less full of ridiculous statistical trivia (if I were to fail, if and when I get to take this for real, and had to retake it, I shudder to think the obloquy which would be heaped on me...)

Of course, I was a sucker and bought the study materials for the old test, just for fun, back when it was announced. But I have no sorrow in knowing they will be obsolete.

The profiteering bastards! Well good luck, I hope you get it before they put the prices up any more.

Then you'll be able to swap that for the joy of applying for a passport: the price for that seems to double every year :-)

The Home Office must have realised how they were missing an opportunity to make money. ;) Apparently, they don't think the fees are an issue as most people applying for such visas, they say, make £40,000 a year. Um, no. I'm a teacher.

Yes, I'll apply for a passport asap before that price increases again. :)
