    oh, it looks like i won't have to do it again in a year for citizenship; gov.uk just has some really confusing prose

    @whitequark Unless you're from the one of the exempt countries or have a degree that was taught or researched in English, yes.
    Prove your knowledge of English for citizenship and settling

    How you can show you know English when you apply for citizenship and to settle in the UK, and when you do not have to.

    @whitequark I just looked up the service for checking if a degree from an overseas institution qualifies, and that costs £210, way more than doing the actual l language test (~£120 last I checked)! 🙀
