Introducing the test

What's the test like?

The test contains 24 questions on life in the United Kingdom and will last for 45 minutes. It's based on the handbook 'Life in the United Kingdom: A Journey to Citizenship', which you can buy from the Stationery Office.

Don't worry if you don't pass the test the first time that you try it; you can try again when you feel ready. There's no limit to the number of times you can take the test, but it makes sense to be well prepared as this will save you money.
