Supee took the test last Friday and, although she didn't pass, she did achieve a rather creditable score of 16/24, just two correct answers short of the pass mark. Re-test booked for next week.
Although we aren't able to list any of the questions used in the actual test, her feeling is that it was somewhat harder than the numerous test sites she had been using and passing on a regular basis.
As you would expect, it is not a fixed set of questions per se, and she was told that each fellow attendee would be getting a different set of questions during that session.

Alan Johnson says that genuine test questions are not in the public domain, and that he suspects that '
www.ukcitizenship.co.uk' is an unofficial website.
This makes sense, but his statement 'my officials have tried to access this website but have been unable to do so' doesn't - I could a moment ago when I tried the link again.
Maybe I should try logging in to the site again from a different machine to avoid looking at cached material, or whatever it's called.
Anyhow, the Government denies the site is official, which is reassuring, given the nonsense it contains.
If that is correct then Alan Johnson is talking absolute bollocks.
The genuine questions are
all in the public domain, indeed the official study book 'Life in the United Kingdom: A Journey to Citizenship Handbook - 2nd Edition' is produced by the Home Office itself.
It may be nonsense but that is hardly reassuring given that the test linked in the OP features typical questions used in the real test, as derived from said Home Office study guide.
