What is life in the UK test


Why has the test been introduced?

Becoming a British citizen or deciding to settle permanently in this country is an important event in your life. If you are applying for naturalisation as a British citizen or for indefinite leave to remain, you will need to show that you know about life in the UK. If you live in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, you can do this in two ways: by taking the Life in the UK Test or by taking combined English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and citizenship classes.


How long does the test last?


You will have 45 minutes to answer 24 questions. This gives you plenty of time to choose your answers and check them again before the end. You do not need to rush to finish the test quickly; remember to use all of the time that you are given. If you have certain medical conditions, you may be allowed more time. You must let us know of any medical conditions when you book your test.




When do I get the results?

You will find out your results when the test session has finished. The test supervisor will tell you whether or not you have passed.

Is there a pass mark?
The pass mark for the test is around 75%.
