Why practise online?

The official UK citizenship test (Life in the UK test) is sat at a registered test centre — you can't take the real exam online. But online practice in the real format is the single biggest factor in passing on the first try. Studies of test-takers show those who complete 4+ mock tests score on average 19% higher.

What makes our online tests realistic

  • Identical question types: single-answer and “select two” multi-answer
  • Same number of questions (24) and pass mark (18/24)
  • Mobile-first interface — practise on your phone during your commute
  • Instant scoring, with per-question explanations on premium

FAQ

Common questions

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.
