What is the Life in the UK Test?
The Life in the UK test (also known as the British citizenship test, UK citizenship test, or simply the LIUK test) is a computer-based examination that tests your knowledge of British life, history, culture, and government. It is a legal requirement for anyone over 18 who is applying for:
- Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) – permanent residence in the UK
- British citizenship – through naturalisation
The citizenship exam consists of 24 multiple-choice questions drawn from the official handbook "Life in the United Kingdom: A Guide for New Residents". You have 45 minutes to complete the test and must answer at least 18 questions correctly (75%) to pass.
Our free Life in the UK test app provides complete training, practice questions, and mock tests to help you prepare with confidence. Whether you need help with British history, government, or values – we've got you covered.
