Ok, today I got the result of lingo exam.

So here is the marks distribution:
Kielitaidon yleistasoarvio: 3

Osataitojen arviot:
Puheen ymmärtäminen: 3
Puhuminen: 3
Tekstin ymmärtäminen: 3
Kirjoittaminen: 3
Rakenteet ja sanasto: alle 3

Ok, does this mean that I failed and can't apply for citizenship? retaking the exam is in my destiny?

You'll be fine! Your overall grade is 3, which meets the language requirements for citizenship (if you took the exam before the year 2002, you need level 4):

"Jos sinulla on jokin seuraavista todistuksista tai tutkinnoista, täytät kielitaitovaatimuksen:
- Todistus yleisen kielitutkinnon suorittamisesta suomen tai ruotsin kielessä suullisesti ja kirjallisesti vähintään yleistaitotasolla kolme. Ennen vuotta
2002 annetussa todistuksessa yleistaitotason tulee olla vähintään neljä."

Hi folks,
I live and work in Finland, am learning Finnish and this might be a good goal to aim for.
Are there any resources to test my own Finnish level prior to taking the test?
What are the practical benefits of Finnish citizenship for someone who has lived/worked here for some years?

Many thanks

It depends on the invidual why they need the finnish citizenship.

As for me,
I intend to live in Finland permanently like this will be where I will spend most of my life.
I wanted to have a Finnish passport so it won't be excruciating to travel to countries I need to apply visas from.
Also, for me it gives me a sense of security that I can go for longer period abroad without getting scared if i can go back to finland after certain period of time.
