Hi

I presume you're sitting the middle level (3/4). Level 3 pass is what's needed to apply for citizenship, but there is also a lower (1/2) and higher (5/6) level, and all are called YKI testit.

I sat the middle level last year. I took various part-time classes over the previous few years. Those organised by the city (in my case Tampere aikuislukio) were also arranged by YKI level 1-4 approximately and the level 3/4 classes were very much aimed at having us prepared to sit the middle level YKI testi. They were all free. I would other cities have similar.

For sitting the test in April, you probably don't have time to go to any course anymore, but I'd suggest practicing from this YLE YKItreenit online tool in addition to your books. Start with the lower level to get the idea and then move up. I found the middle level there a bit more difficult than the actual test, but good training. Once you register, it's free to use.

The only section of the test not covered on the YLE training was I think the speaking. For that, talking with people is the best practice. The topics in my test were fairly simple (reassuring a fallen child on the street and an interview, about chocolate I think). It's horrible speaking into the tape but I suggest just trying to respond in simple but correct language (full sentences). I didn't feel like I did well there but I did pass.

The results do take about 8 weeks to arrive. Good luck!
