Taking the Life in the UK Test

Проверено: 15 July 2026

These are the testable facts for this section, written in our own words (the handbook text itself is Crown copyright — and reading facts twice beats re-reading prose anyway). Work top to bottom, then drill the section below.

What you need to know

The Life in the UK Test consists of 24 questions covering all parts of the handbook.
Questions are based on the whole handbook — any chapter or section can be tested.
The test is usually taken in English, but arrangements can be made to take it in Welsh or Scottish Gaelic.
The test is taken at a registered and approved Life in the UK test centre; there are about 60 test centres around the UK.
The test can only be booked online, through the official government booking website.
You cannot take the test at just any location — only at an approved centre.
On test day you must take proof of identity and proof of your address; without correct documents you cannot sit the test.
The test fee is paid when booking.
The pass mark: you must answer enough of the 24 questions correctly (in the live test, 75% — i.e. 18 out of 24).
Questions are based on ALL parts of the handbook, including any introductory and closing material stated as testable.
If you pass, you keep your pass notification and use it in your settlement or citizenship application.
Special arrangements exist for people with disabilities; contact the test provider when booking.
