The test, explained

How the Life in the UK Test works

The Life in the UK Test is a computer-based test you must pass to apply for settlement (indefinite leave to remain) or British citizenship. It has 24 multiple-choice questions drawn from the official handbook, Life in the United Kingdom: A Guide for New Residents (3rd edition). You get 45 minutes, you need 18 or more correct (75%), and it costs £50 each attempt at an approved test centre. Book only through GOV.UK — never pay a third party to book for you.

The five chapters are: the values and principles of the UK; what the UK is; its long history; modern society; and government, the law and your role. Most people who fail are not failing everywhere — they have one weak chapter, usually history or government. That is why this site starts with a diagnostic instead of asking you to grind hundreds of random questions.

A study plan that works

Take the diagnostic. Practise your weakest chapter until you are scoring above 80% in it. Then take timed mocks — and only book the real test once you are scoring 22 or more out of 24, twice in a row. Test-day nerves typically cost two or three marks; build the margin before you spend £50. If you do fail, you can rebook after 7 days, but you pay again — use the week on your weakest chapter, not on everything.

How many questions are on the test, and what's the pass mark?

24 questions, 45 minutes, at least 18 correct (75%) to pass.

How much does it cost and where do I book?

£50 per attempt, booked on the official GOV.UK service, at least 3 days ahead, at an approved test centre. Bring the same ID you booked with.

Who is exempt from the test?

Generally people under 18, aged 65 or over, those who have passed it before, and some people with a long-term condition that prevents them taking it (evidence required). Check the current rules on GOV.UK before relying on an exemption.

Is this site official?

No. This is an independent practice resource, not affiliated with the Home Office or GOV.UK. Questions here are original practice questions based on the handbook's subject matter.
