What is UK Citizenship Test?
If you are applying for naturalisation as a British citizen, you will need to show that you know about life in the UK. If you live in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, you can do this in two ways: by taking the Life in the UK Test or by taking combined English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and citizenship classes.

The test is conducted by the Home Office, the test is a series of 24 questions based on chapters 2, 3 and 4 of 'Life in the United Kingdom: A Journey to Citizenship'. You will have 45 minutes to answer 24 questions.

Who has to take the test?
You should take the test if you are applying for naturalisation as a British citizen and your level of English is ESOL Entry 3 or above. If your level of English is lower than ESOL Entry 3 and you wish to apply for naturalisation, you will need to attend combined English language (ESOL) and citizenship classes instead. Classes will be run at your local further education or community college.

Is PayPal secure?
PayPal automatically encrypts your confidential information in transit from your computer to theirs using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an encryption key length of 128-bits (the highest level commercially available). Before you even register or log in to their site, their server checks that you're using an approved browser - one that uses SSL 3.0 or higher. Once your information reaches them, it resides on a server that is heavily guarded both physically and electronically. Their servers sit behind an electronic firewall and are not directly connected to the Internet, so your private information is available only to authorised computers.

How secure is Google Checkout?
Google Checkout uses state of the art security tools and techniques, both proprietary and unique, to ensure that seller and shopper are protected against what is nowadays a virtually non-existent risk. Google Checkout systems also have inbuilt system redundancy and fault tolerance, to provide with a virtually uninterrupted service 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Google Checkout systems have evolved over many years and throughout the history Google Checkout have continuously sought and gained bank approval for their systems. by using industry standard SSL, Thawte and Google Checkout's unique encryption system, all the card details are encrypted before they reach the Google Checkout system. What happens is when a shopper fills in the payment form and clicks the 'Submit' button, their details are not sent straight-away. Instead a secure link is set up between the shopper's browser and Google Checkout producing a private/public encryption code which then wraps the transaction details before leaving the shopper's premises.
