When do I get the results?
You will find out your results when the test session has finished. The test supervisor will tell you whether or not you have passed.
Is there a pass mark?
The pass mark for the test is around 75%.
If I pass the test, what happens next?
If you pass the test, your test supervisor will give you a pass notification letter. This letter contains details of your test date, supervisor, centre location and a unique ID number. When you have filled in your citizenship application, you should attach your pass notification letter and send both to the Home Office. Your test centre will also send proof of your test results to the Home Office.
What happens if I lose my pass notification letter?
Your pass notification letter is very important: you should keep it in a safe place until you are ready to fill in your citizenship application. If you lose this letter, you will not be given a new one to replace it.
What happens if I fail the test?
Your test supervisor will advise you if you have failed the test. You should not make an application for naturalisation as a British citizen if this happens.
I've failed the test. Can I take it again?
You can take the test again, but we do not recommend that you do this straight away. You should go back and study chapters 2, 3 and 4 of the 'Life in the United Kingdom' handbook and do the exercises in Prepare for the test on this website again, until you feel confident. Your results notification letter will give you feedback on which areas of the handbook you need to look at again. You will then need to book a new test date and time with your test centre. Alternatively, if you feel you did not pass the test because of your level of English, you may like to consider attending combined English language (ESOL) and citizenship classes at your local further education college. You would do this instead of taking the test again. |
