How to use this guide

  1. Read a chapter through once without trying to memorise anything.
  2. Drill that single topic straight afterwards, while it is fresh. Each chapter links through to its own practice questions.
  3. Once you have read everything, sit a full mock test: 24 questions in 45 minutes, pass mark 18.
  4. Re-read whichever chapters your results flag as weak, rather than starting again from the beginning.

Frequently asked questions

What do I need to revise for the Life in the UK test?

Everything in the official handbook, Life in the United Kingdom: A Guide for New Residents. Questions are drawn only from that book, covering British values, history, government and the law, society, and culture.

How long does it take to revise?

Most people spend two to four weeks. The history chapter is by far the largest and is worth revisiting more than once; the others are considerably shorter.

Is reading the guide enough to pass?

Reading alone rarely is. You need 18 out of 24 correct, and the questions test recall of specific dates, names and numbers. Read a chapter, then drill that topic until the details stick.
