What happens if I fail the test?
Your test supervisor will let you know if you fail the test. You should not apply for naturalisation in this case.
You can take the test again, but it is recommended that you do not do it immediately. You should go back and study chapters 2, 3 and 4 of the ‘Life in the United Kingdom’ handbook and do practice tests on this website, 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.
