Frequently asked questions
Can I take the official Life in the UK Test online at home?
No. Online practice and mock tests are preparation only. GOV.UK’s booking service lets you choose an approved test centre for the official test. Passing a LINUK mock does not produce an official pass or reference number.
Is this Life in the UK test practice free?
Yes. Chapter exercises and the full question bank are free to use without an account. Question practice has no daily limit. Mock tests have a separate allowance of three free starts per day.
Which topics should I practise for the Life in the UK test?
Practise all five handbook chapters: The values and principles of the UK; What is the UK?; A long and illustrious history; A modern, thriving society; and The UK government, the law and your role.
What is the difference between practice and a mock test?
Practice is untimed and explains each answer immediately. A mock test has 24 questions, a 45-minute timer and a score at the end. Use practice to learn a topic and a mock test to rehearse the exam format.
Does the short practice exercise save my progress?
No. The four-question chapter exercise is a quick sample and does not save progress. In the full practice bank, guest progress stays in this browser; sign in to save future progress to your account.
