You need to study the information from the 3rd edition handbook Life in the United Kingdom: A Guide for New Residents. The official test is based on this book. Our study guide covers all 5 chapters and 23 topics in a clear and structured way.
Before taking the mock tests, we recommend reading the About the Test section and studying the guide first. Then practise with our 40 mock tests, designed as realistic simulations of the official Life in the UK test.
The test is computer based and contains 24 questions and is designed to test applicant’s knowledge of life in the UK in 45 minutes time.
Everybody in the age of 18-64 is required to pass this test as part of their citizenship application process since 2005 exept of some disabled.
You need to pass the test once – you don’t need to pass the test again if you became a British citizen and previously passed for settlement needs.
You must score 75% or more to pass the test. This is equivalent to answering 18 or more out of 24 questions correctly.
