Everything you need and more - Rated
This book and CD are incredibly useful in teaching you everything you need to know for the test including practice tests.

The first chapter explains exactly how the test works and the other chapters contain the official study material. There are also additional Quick Study chapters which lay out the facts that you must know to pass the test.

The practice tests are incredibly handy for building confidence and are a lot better than readiing the study text time and time again.

Invaluable help and highly recommended - Rated
I bought this book to help me study for the immigration test

I liked the idea that it came with a CD with interactive practice tests on it.

The book is a handier size than the official book and contains all of the official study material. The CD quiz works very well. Another reviewer said that there were mistakes, but I couldn't find them. The book doesn't have any questions and answers in it and the questions and answers on the CD quiz all had correct answers.

I used the CD a lot and it really helped me. It took me less than 10 minutes to take the real test and pass it. I would definately recommend this book,

A waste of money - Rated
This book is littered with wrong answers. For example, apparently the most common meaning for the acronym MP is Military Police. Given that this question was in the chapter about Parliament and MP was used in other questions to mean Member of Parliament, I think this just about sums up the book. Don't buy this book, it's a waste of money - try the one from the Home Office, which is what we will be doing very shortly.

The best Immigration study guide available - Rated
Don't waste your time on the other books, this is the one to buy. It contains all of the official Home Office text needed to pass the Immigration Test and it has a CD with a set of interactive tests that you can run again and again until you are ready to take the real test. None of the other books have interactive test CDs and there are over 800 questions. All of the other interactive tests that I have seen, require you to logon to a website and pay more money to use them. The book is a good handy size as well, not a great big monster like the Official Home Office book. Well Done!

The Life in the UK test contains all information found in the official book and it is laid out much better for easier reading and has more questions to prepare yourself for the test. I know this as I have seen the cumbersome Home Office's official book. I found the Life the UK Test book and CD to be very useful and a success! The Home Office does not endorse any of the several books available, so they would not encourage anyone to buy anything else.
