Why now
Every other prep site is stuck in 2018.
Outdated questions. Pop-up ads on every tap. Subscriptions that auto-renew. We built the opposite — clean, current, and reviewed by people who passed the test this year.
Other prep sites
- ✕ Questions written years ago — pre-Brexit, pre-Charles III
- ✕ Adverts between every question
- ✕ Monthly subscriptions you forget to cancel
- ✕ Cluttered UI that's painful on a phone
- ✕ No idea who reviewed the answers, or when

Not the official source — something better
We're not affiliated with the Home Office, and the real test is booked at gov.uk. But our goal is bigger than a question bank: we're building the tool we wish we'd had — one that doesn't just test you, but actually helps you pass without the hustle of cramming 180 pages alone.
Follows the official handbook
Every question and cheat sheet maps directly to Life in the United Kingdom: A Guide for New Residents (3rd edition) — the only book the Home Office tests you on.
£9.99 once. No subscription.
Pay once and study at your pace. No auto-renew, no upsells, no email spam.
FAQ
British citizenship test — common questions
Everything new candidates ask us about the UK citizenship test, the Life in the UK handbook and how our practice tests work.
How many questions are on the British citizenship test?
The official Life in the UK test has 24 multiple-choice questions. You must answer at least 18 correctly (75%) to pass. You have 45 minutes to complete it.
How much does the official UK citizenship test cost?
The official test costs £50 and is booked via gov.uk. Our practice platform is independent: 2 tests are completely free; £9.99 unlocks the remaining 43 plus training mode and cheat sheets — one-off payment, no subscription.
What is the pass mark for the Life in the UK test?
You need 18 correct answers out of 24 — that is 75%. Our practice tests use the same scoring so you can benchmark yourself realistically.
Is the British citizenship test hard?
It is fact-heavy rather than trick-based. Most candidates pass after 4–8 hours of practice if they use exam-format tests and a community-reviewed question bank like ours.
Which book does the test come from?
All official questions are drawn from "Life in the United Kingdom: A Guide for New Residents (3rd edition)". Every question on our site is mapped to that handbook.
Can I take the British citizenship test online?
The official test must be sat in person at a registered test centre. You can however practise online for free on this site — we replicate the exact 24-question format.
How long is my Life in the UK test pass valid?
A pass is valid for life — you only need to take it once. You will use it to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) and British citizenship.
Are these the real exam questions?
No — and no honest site has them, because the official question pool is confidential. Our questions are written in the exact same format and difficulty by people who recently sat and passed the test, and reviewed monthly.
