Proving knowledge of English and life in the UK

Study note

To apply to settle or become a citizen, you must be able to speak and read English and have a good understanding of life in the UK. The Life in the UK Test questions are written at the level of English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Entry Level 3, which is equivalent to B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference. People whose English is below this standard can take an ESOL course in English with Citizenship instead.

Memory tip: English needed = ESOL Entry Level 3, the same as B1 on the CEFR.
