About the Test

The Life in the UK Test is required for British citizenship and Indefinite Leave to Remain (settlement) applications, and is set by UK Visas and Immigration (part of the Home Office). It is a computer-based test taken at an official test centre, made up of 24 multiple-choice questions answered in 45 minutes, with a pass mark that is widely reported as 75% (18 out of 24).

Life in the World is an independent educational preparation service. We are not affiliated with, and do not administer, the official test — our study materials, practice questions and mock tests are designed to help you prepare for it. Always confirm current requirements on the relevant government website before your test date.
