I received indefinite leave to remain with my family years ago, long before the naturalization test was introduced, ive turned 18 now and want to apply for a British passport but my school friends are convinced I need to take the test, is this true is there any further info?
 
yes of course you will have to do the test,
you are NOT a british citizen yet.
and you cannot get a passport unless you are a naturalised citizen.

unless you and your parents became citizens when you were a baby (in which case you did not have to do the test precisely because you were a baby) then you need to find that certificate of citizenship that would have been issued to you.

If you have that certificate, then you can apply for a british passport. Ask your parents what your legal status in UK is right now.
