What the test actually is

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
45minutes to answer them
18correct answers to pass (75%)

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.

Six ways to prepare

Pick the one that matches the time you have today. One switch on Home decides whether answers show straight away or wait for a score.

Study or Test

Every mode follows the switch on Home. Study shows the answer and its explanation the moment you tap. Test holds it back until you check it, or until the end if you prefer.

One switch, every mode

Mock exam

24 questions, drawn first from the ones you have practised least and then from the ones you miss most. In Test mode the 45-minute clock runs, you can pause it, and the paper is marked against the real pass mark.

English first, your language beneath

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

No sign-up, no email, no password. Your progress is saved on your device, not in an account, and usage statistics are optional.

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 914 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 app's Mock exam follows the same rules: 24 questions, 45 minutes, pass at 18.

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.

What are Most common mistakes and Most saved?

Two lists built from the answers of everyone using the app, updated daily: the questions learners most often get wrong, and the ones they save most. They appear on Home once enough learners have answered. You can study any question on them or practise the whole list. They hold only totals, nothing that identifies you.

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.
