Requirements depend on the application you are making. Use the official application guidance and form to establish whether you need the test and what other evidence is required.
The English-language requirement is separate
Do not assume a Life in the UK pass satisfies every language requirement. The official English-language guidance explains the accepted evidence and exemptions for settlement and citizenship.
Moving from settlement to citizenship
If you already passed for settlement, GOV.UK says you do not need to take the test again. Keep the reference number or older test evidence and follow the citizenship application instructions.
Where to start
Use GOV.UK’s settlement guidance, citizenship guidance and English-language guidance. These explain the requirements beyond this test.
Quick answer
Must I repeat the test for citizenship after passing for settlement?
GOV.UK says you do not need to take it again if you have already passed.
