The ‘Life in the UK’ multiple-choice test is aimed at establishing an applicant’s understanding of British laws, traditions, and customs. This meant the gang outside could hear the audio feed of the test questions and provide the answers. Over the past year, nearly 150,000 people have given the 'Life in the UK' test, and nearly one in five applicants has failed the exam. The administration of the tests has been outsourced by the UK government, with around 60 testing centres across the UK. A UK Home Office spokesperson 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.
