How many questions are in the Life in the UK Test?
The test has 24 multiple-choice questions. You have 45 minutes to answer them and you need at least 18 correct answers, which is 75%, to pass. Every mock test in the app uses the same format.
What is the Life in the UK Test based on?
The questions come from the official handbook, Life in the United Kingdom: A Guide for New Residents (3rd edition). It covers British values, the countries of the UK, history, modern society, government and the law. Our study guide explains each chapter.
How many practice questions does the app have?
Over 770 practice questions on the chapters used in the test, plus short study notes for every section of the handbook. You can try 20 free sample questions on this website.
Does the app work without the internet?
