Life in the UK Test
How many questions are on the Life in the UK Test?
Quick answer
The Life in the UK Test has 24 multiple-choice questions. You get 45 minutes to answer them, and you must answer at least 18 correctly (75%) to pass.
How the 24 questions work
Every candidate sits 24 multiple-choice questions drawn at random from a large bank based on the official handbook. The questions cover all five chapters — British values, what the UK is, its history, modern society, and government and the law — so you can be asked about any topic in the handbook.
Question formats
Most questions ask you to pick the single correct answer from four options. Some ask you to choose two correct answers, decide whether a statement is true or false, or pick the correct statement from a pair. Reading each question carefully is half the battle.
How to be ready for any of them
Because the 24 are pulled at random, the only reliable preparation is to cover the whole handbook. Timed mock tests that mirror the real 24-question, 45-minute format are the fastest way to find your weak chapters and fix them before the day.
