The Life in the UK Test in one minute

It is the statutory Knowledge of Language and Life test. You need it for Indefinite Leave to Remain or for British citizenship.

24questions in the real test

You sit the test at an approved test centre, on a computer, with photo identification. The result is pass or fail only — no score is given.

This app prepares you for that test. It does not book it and it is not part of it.

Progress you can see

Attempted and mastered counts for every chapter, and a readiness figure for the whole handbook.

Question history

Each question carries its own record — Seen 3×, Missed 1× — so you know what still needs work.

Exam history

Every mock exam is kept with its score, date and the questions you missed.

Works offline

The whole question bank is stored on your device after the first launch. No connection needed to study.

Light and dark themes

The app follows your phone setting, or you can choose a theme yourself.

13 interface languages

Menus, explanations and question translations, with English always shown first.

Bilingual questions

English first, your language beneath

The real test is in English, so English is always the main text. Your language sits under it in a quieter style, for the question, every option and the explanation.

Why this app

What to look for in a Life in the UK Test app

Four things worth checking before you install any of them, and where this one stands on each. Nothing below is a claim you cannot verify for yourself.

Every question written from the official handbook

The bank is built from Life in the United Kingdom: A Guide for New Residents (3rd edition), the only material the real test draws on. The real questions are never published, so an app advertising them is misrepresenting itself.

Free, and free the whole way through

No in-app purchases, no subscription, no locked chapters, no trial that runs out. The entire bank and every mode, at no cost. Ads are what keep it that way.

Bilingual, not just a translated menu

Every question appears in English first with your own language beneath it, because the real test is English-only. Apps that translate the interface and leave the questions alone do not prepare you for that.

No account, and it works offline

No sign-up, no email, no password. Your progress stays on the device and is never uploaded. After the first launch it runs with no connection at all.

This is independent practice material. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the UK Government or the Home Office, and it cannot book, replace or form any part of the official test.

Questions

Before you download

Is this the official test?

No. This is a practice app made by an independent developer. The official Life in the UK Test is booked through the government service and sat at an approved test centre. This app is not affiliated with the UK Government or the Home Office.

Are these the real test questions?

No. The real questions are not published. Our 879 questions are written from the official study material, Life in the United Kingdom: A Guide for New Residents (3rd edition), which is the only legitimate source the real test draws on.

How many questions are in the test, and how long do I get?

The real test has 24 questions and you have 45 minutes. The Mock exam mode uses exactly the same format.

What is the pass mark?

You need 75%, which is 18 correct answers out of 24. The result is given as pass or fail only. You are not told your score.

Is the app free?

Yes. The app is free and supported by ads. There are no in-app purchases and no subscription.

Do I need an internet connection?

Only for the first launch. After that the whole question bank is on your device, so you can study offline. Ads need a connection to load.

Which languages does it support?

Thirteen: English, Hindi, Punjabi, Polish, Urdu, Romanian, Italian, Bengali, German, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Spanish and French. Questions always show English first, with your language beneath.

What happens if I fail?

You can book the test again. There is a waiting period of seven days between attempts, and you pay the fee each time. Use Weak spots mode to work through what you missed before you rebook.
