Test cost

Every question comes from one book, the official handbook. It is called Life in the United Kingdom: A Guide for New Residents. If a fact is not in that book, it will not be in the test. People often call this the British citizenship test.
Realistic exam simulation
Sit a 24-question timed test in the same format as the real one at the test centre. Reading on its own does not prepare you for the clock.
Weak topic identification
One mock test shows which of the six topics you need to revise most. You spend your time where it counts instead of starting at page one.
Learn from every mistake
Every question has a short explanation. A wrong answer teaches you something instead of just costing you a mark.
Covers the whole handbook
Questions come from British history, government, values, society, culture and everyday life. You cannot pass by learning one part and skipping the rest.
Free practice every day
Use the free 24-question mock test and aim for 18 or more before you book the real exam.
How it works
Three steps to being ready
Sit a full mock test
24 questions against a 45 minutes clock, marked against the real 18 out of 24 pass mark.
See which topics let you down
Results break down topic by topic, so you find out which part of the handbook is costing you marks rather than getting a single score.
Read up and drill the weak ones
Each topic has a study guide chapter and its own set of questions. Later mock tests ask more from the topics you keep getting wrong.
