The exam

What the Life in the UK Test involves

The Life in the UK Test is a computer-based, multiple-choice exam that most people applying for indefinite leave to remain (settlement) or British citizenship aged 18-64 must pass. It checks your knowledge of British values, history, traditions, and the system of government, drawn from the official handbook Life in the United Kingdom: A Guide for New Residents (3rd edition).

What is the pass mark, and how long is the Life in the UK Test?

You answer 24 multiple-choice questions in 45 minutes. To pass you need at least 18 correct answers, a mark of 75%. Unlike some citizenship tests, there is no separate must-get-perfect section: every question counts the same, and the questions are drawn from across the whole handbook.

How much does the Life in the UK Test cost and how often can you take it?

The test costs £50 each time you sit it. You book it online and take it at an official test centre. If you do not pass, you can book and pay to sit it again, so cutting the number of attempts you need is exactly what focused practice is for.

What topics does the Life in the UK Test cover?

Every question comes from the testable material in the official handbook, which the app organises into five study areas:

  • The values and principles of the UK: democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and tolerance.
  • What is the UK?: the four nations, capitals, flags, patron saints and everyday facts.
  • A long and illustrious history: from Roman Britain to modern times, the largest area of the test.
  • A modern, thriving society: religion, festivals, sport, culture and daily life.
  • The UK government, the law and your role: Parliament, elections, the courts and your civic duties.

Your practice maps one-to-one onto these areas, and because history carries the most questions in the real test, the app weights your drilling the same way.

FAQ

Common questions

Is the app in Chinese or in English?

Both, on purpose. The real Life in the UK Test is sat in English, so every question and answer option is kept in exam English. What we add is a clear Chinese explanation (中文解說) under each answer, plus bilingual flashcards, so you learn the fact and the English wording at the same time. It is a Chinese-explained edition, not a translated exam.

Does the app really work offline?

Yes, completely. All 1,000+ study items, mock exams, flashcards and your progress are stored on your device. After the initial download from the App Store or Google Play, no connection is ever required.

How do I restore my purchase on a new phone?

Install the app on your new device using the same Apple ID or Google account you bought it with, then tap "Restore purchase" in Settings. Apple and Google handle the purchase record, we never store it, because we have no servers and no accounts.

Is this the official Life in the UK Test?

No. This is an independent study tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the UK Home Office, UK Visas and Immigration, or any government body. Only the official test centres administer the real test.

Are the questions accurate, and who checks the answers?

Every question is written independently from well-known public facts about the United Kingdom and follows the real test's format, topic split and difficulty. Before it ships, a second, independent AI model from a different family confirms each answer, and a human reviews anything the two models disagree on. The free sample questions above let you judge the quality before you buy.

Do you copy the official handbook or the real test questions?

No. The official handbook is Crown copyright and the real test questions are confidential, so we never reproduce them. Our questions are original, written from publicly known facts about the UK, which is the standard, lawful approach for study apps in this category.

If I pass the practice mock, will I pass the real test?

No study tool can promise that. Our mock mirrors the official 24-question, 45-minute, 75% format, and any practice-only figure is clearly labelled. Use the app alongside the official handbook, not instead of it.
