Common questions
About the Life in the UK Test
How many questions are in the Life in the UK Test?
24 multiple-choice questions, with 45 minutes to answer them.
What is the pass mark for the Life in the UK Test?
You need 18 of 24 correct, which is 75%.
How much does the Life in the UK Test cost?
£50. If you fail you pay again for each further attempt, which is why practising first is worth the time.
Are these the real exam questions?
No. No government publishes its real exam questions. These are written from Life in the UK: A Guide for New Residents (3rd edition), the official study guide the real questions are drawn from.
Is the Life in the UK Test hard?
It is straightforward if you have read the material and unforgiving if you have not. You need 18 of 24 correct, so you can only afford 6 mistakes. Most people who fail have read the guide once and never tested themselves under time.
How should I prepare for the Life in the UK Test?
Sit one timed mock before you read anything. It takes 45 minutes and tells you which chapters are already fine, so you can spend your study time on the two or three that are costing you marks. Then drill those, and retest. Reading Life in the UK: A Guide for New Residents (3rd edition) front to back is the slowest route.
Do any questions have more than one answer?
Yes. Some Life in the UK questions ask you to choose two answers, and you need both to get the mark. There is no partial credit.
