Well, OK, I've passed my test a couple of weeks ago. I've had two books: this one and the compulsory Second Edition of whatever - you know, the official textbook.
This one... It says in the foreword: do not memorize the questions because they change all the time. Sic! In fact it is a lame excuse along the lines of 'we ain't got no idea what the questions are, but we'd like to cover our backsides'. This is utterly true: not a single question in my test was ANYTHING like the ones in the book. So basically what they've done, they've taken Chapters 2-6, picked the factual info and then asked questions about it. Do you really need somebody else to do it for you?
Second point is, the website is a joke. A rather sad one. The 'extra' test accessible for free on the site is just a dozen of random questions from the book. To get more tests you need to pay - not a fortune, but something comparable to the price of the book itself, and since I am too tight to be rid of my hard earned pennies in such a ridiculously unscrupulous way, I don't know if there are any original questions in the 'extra' tests, or is it all a repetition of the same stuff.
Third, there are factual errors in the book - me and my mrs. have spotted at least two (about licencing for young folk's labor and something about the EU's founding members), which is a bit of a mauvais tone for a test preparation manual.
So the book is pretty useless. On the positive side, it's cheap, but then again, caveat lector: factual errors can trip you up, so take it with a pinch of salt.
Official blue book is a must.

When I started preparing for the exam I thought the material was just too much to learn. However after going through the practice tests using the Red Squirrel book I discovered that the answers to the questions were readily available in the Journey to Citizenship 2nd Edition Book.
Secondly the online tests provided were very easy to follow using the guidelines provided for, infact they are exactly the same as the ones on the Red Squirel book. The book has been simplified to make everyone pass on their first attempt and I am proud that I am one of those. I am happy to recommed the books to anyone intending to take their examination and assure you that if you do you homework well, you will not go wrong.

The questions in the book are very helpful. When I got the wrong answer, it helped me to remember and understand more the official study book, which I studied as well. I appreciate your book and thank you very much.

For the obsessive
Well if you already got the Official Study book this is a bit over kill unless you really enjoy taking tests. The few tests at the back of the Official book are probably enough. Read more
