Life in the UK Test Introduction

Exam IntroductionBecoming settled in the UK is a significant step in your journey to becoming a British Citizen. By passing the Life in the UK test you will show that you have the knowledge of UK life and the English language that it is required for citizenship.

British people believe that community is important and they have respect for equal rights. There are many different cultures in Britain and cultures are brought together by listening to different points of view.

Gaining indefinite leave to remain (ILR) in the UK by becoming settled means you will have the opportunity to play an active role in the community you live in and wider society. You will not have to renew your stay in the UK. Although you could not leave the UK for periods longer than 2 years, you will be able to come and go from the UK without bother.

Applying to become a British citizen will give you the right to a British passport and you will have the right to vote in national elections.

If you become a British citizen or get ILR you will be able to keep your own identity but will need to know about life in the UK.

The life in the UK Test will give you the knowledge you will need to live in the UK and participate in British society.

The test will be taken on a computer at a registered test centre.

The test consists of 24 questions based on life in the UK. It is very important that you read ‘Life in the United Kingdom: A Journey to Citizenship: 2nd Edition.’

The duration of the test is 45 minutes so in this time you will be able to answer all of the questions and check them over once again before the end. If you have a disability you may be allocated with more time but you will need to speak to the supervisor when booking your test.
