British Citizenship Test · Free Practice
Prepare confidently for the official Home Office citizenship test. Free, unlimited practice sessions covering British history, values, democracy, and culture.
The Life in the UK test is a mandatory requirement set by the Home Office for anyone applying for indefinite leave to remain (settlement) or British citizenship. It demonstrates that you have sufficient knowledge of British values, history, and society to become a full member of the UK community.
Questions are drawn from the official Life in the UK handbook, which covers everything from the Magna Carta and the Industrial Revolution to modern British culture, Parliament, and your rights and responsibilities as a resident.
This free practice site lets you sit full 24-question sessions as many times as you like — at no cost — so you can build confidence before booking the official test at a registered centre.
The test draws all questions from the Life in the UK handbook. Read every chapter — nothing is left out.
Take full 24-question practice tests as many times as you need. Each session is scored instantly so you can track your progress.
