Life in UK Test : Incomplete Name Vs Full Name in Visa

My name in passport and Visa reads as AA BB CC (where AA being my first name, BB the middle name and CC is my last name/surname)
I sat the Life in the UK test using my driving licence as an ID proof in which my name is AA CC (no middle name), but most other documents have it in format AA BB CC (Some with just B- only Initial with middlename)
My bank statements have my first and middle name with only initial as opposed to full names.
My query is, can we amend the life in the uk certificate to include my full name (incl. middle name) or would I have to sit another test and ask them to include my full name?

Forgot to mention, my wife has the same issue.
Missing her middle name (my maiden name as her middle name) in test pass letter.
Her residence permit has her full name , so is her passport

I would suggest you to request UKBA for your or your wife SAR file. If your Life in the UK test is in file or in your wife file then you don't need to worry...

why would the life in the UK test be in the wife's SAR file if she hasn't made her application yet?

What is the best option, Should we book another test and ensure this time we get complete Fulll Names printed on our test certificates?
I know they print the names as we enter the name field while booking the test online (Double checked by logging back in the LIUK website, and first name is just the maiden first name as printed on my test pass certificate).
So while booking a test, one has to ensure that the first name is as per passport and residence permit; as opposed to just maiden first name

I think it should be OK - in particular considering you have to provide photo ID to take the test which is recorded on the certificate
