UK's citizenship test vulnerable to cheating, says report; academies guarantee pass result to foreigners for a fee
FirstpostThe ‘Life in the UK’ test is aimed at establishing an applicant’s understanding of Britain’s laws, traditions and customs and is made up of a series of multiple-choice questions. London: Britain’s compulsory tests required to be cleared by foreigners applying for British citizenship may have been compromised by illegal organisation offering the chance to cheat on them, a media report claimed on Monday. A BBC undercover investigation found that training academies in and around London were offering foreigners the chance to pass the test with the use of a hidden earpiece. The UK home office said test centres were required to put in place stringent measures to prevent cheating, including searches of candidates to ensure no electronic devices enter the test room.
