There is a test if you want to apply for a grant of UK Citizenship through naturalization or to obtain Indefinite Leave to Remain. The questions are based on chapters of the book titled Life in the United Kingdom – A Journey to Citizenship. Practice questions can be downloaded easily.

Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK is referred to as ‘permanent residency’ and it gives its holder the right to work and live in the UK with no time restriction on their stay. This leave can be applied for by people who have previously been resident in the UK on various types of UK visas and immigration services.

Indefinite Leave to Remain allows a non-European Economic Area national to continue living and working in the UK indefinitely and, unlike a work permit, the holder may work for any employer and for any position they may choose.

Becoming a UK citizen through the process of British naturalization enables a candidate who is already in possession of Indefinite Leave to Remain to obtain all the privileges and rights afforded to those with UK Citizenship. This includes the right to a British passport and the right to vote. UK Citizenship cannot be revoked for spending too much time outside the country although applicants should know that one of the requirements of naturalisation is that the candidate should demonstrate their intention to continue living in the U.K.

Permanent residents applying for UK Citizenship must be over eighteen; be of good character; must have been resident in the UK for at least five years and have held Indefinite Leave to remain for twelve months. All applicants must intend to continue living in the UK and be proficient in the English language.
