About the Life in the UK Test
The Life in the UK Test is a computer-based test of 24 multiple-choice questions taken at an approved test centre. You need 18 correct answers — 75% — within 45 minutes to pass. Every question is drawn from the official handbook, which is organised into five chapters covering British values, the make-up of the UK, its history, modern society, and how the country is governed. There are no essays and no spoken element: it is entirely multiple choice on screen.
How to prepare
Learn one chapter at a time
Work through the five chapters in order rather than skimming the whole handbook at once. Each chapter page here has a real quiz so you can check what's actually sticking.
Practise under real conditions
Once you're comfortable with the chapters, sit full 24-question mock tests against the clock. Aim to score above 90% consistently before you book.
Book through the official source
Confirm current fees and requirements on GOV.UK and book your appointment there — never through a third-party app.
