I studied this book, only this book, for one week, and then passed the test on my birthday(a small gift for myself).
The language of the book is easy to understand; the questions are very similar to the real test; the CD is good for you to get familar with the pc test; and I will keep the book as a yellowpage, since lots of websites and intformation are still useful.
My experience is, read though the book first, do the test after the each chapter, Then you will understand how to study it. No point to highlight the important parts. Just try to remember as much as you can, and make notes on those you can not remember,
two things for you to know:
1. for the real test, you DO NOT need to write down the answer, as long as you are able to CLICK the right answer. So no need to spend too much time on spelling if you can not remember the exactly words.
2. tho the test itself only takes 5mins (45mins max), the whole process takes more than 2 hours...good luck everyone.

I've actually used both this book and the official Home Office guide - the latter being passed onto me by a friend. Was a little concerned that the content may differ (this is one test I don't want to re-sit!) but I found that the Which? version covered exactly the same content with some added benefits such as practice questions at the end of each chapter (lacking from the Home Office version- you have to purchase a separate book!) and the CD rom. And as someone who commutes everyday (perfect study time), the size of the Which? guide was much more convenient - the HO one is a bit bulky and I found I kept leaving it at work!!

I couldnt of succeeded in my citizenship exam without reading this book.
At first I tried to read the 'home office' edition, it was really really complicated ! But,luckily, I came across this book while shopping on Amazon. This extrodnairy book was much better. It was simple, orgainzied and set out in a layout that was easy to remember. The CD-ROM, which was included in the book, was really helpful as it had lots of practice questions. Guess what! Some of them came in the REAL exam. I fortunatly passed the exam at first time with the help of this great book.
Therefore, I greatly recommand this book for everybody who wants pass the 'life in the UK' test.
