You’ll be given a comprehensive overview of EVERYTHING you need to learn in order to become a British citizen. The study materials from this book have been taken from the Home Office Publication, Life in the United Kingdom: A guide for new residents. It’s essential to make sure that you learn as much as you possibly can from these chapters, as the questions that you will be asked during your test are based on the information provided in them.

How to Use this Guide
To pass the Life in the UK Test, you’ll need to revise extremely hard. There are an awful lot of topics that you’ll need to revise; from history to politics. To help make the learning process as easy as possible, we’ve broken this book up into manageable sections. Each of these sections has been specifically designed to enhance your learning. At the end of each section you’ll find a handy mock test so that you can recap on what you’ve learned.
The sections in this guide include:
• The Life in the UK Test: General Info;
• The United Kingdom;
• Britain Through The Ages;
• Modern Day Britain;
• The UK Government;
• UK Law and Order.
Each of these subsections has been broken down into smaller subsections, to give you a detailed insight into British life. You can tackle these sections in any order that you would like, but it’s important to make sure that you cover every single one in as much detail as possible.
Applying to Become a Resident of the UK
In order to become a citizen of the United Kingdom, you’ll need the following:
• You must be able to speak and read in English;
• You must have a good understanding of living in the UK, and what this requires;
• You must be able to pass the Life in the UK Test.
In order to become a British citizen, you will need to provide good evidence that you have speaking and listening skills in English at B1 of the European Framework of Reference. There are a wide variety of tests that you can take and these tests vary in whether they test speaking and listening skills only, or combine this with reading and writing tests.
In this book, we’ll provide you with essential knowledge that will help you prepare for taking the Life in the UK Test.
The Life in the UK Test
The Life in the UK Test is a computer-based assessment. Passing the test is one of the requirements for anyone who is seeking Indefinite Leave to Remain in the United Kingdom, or seeking naturalisation as a British citizen. You won’t need to take the test if you are under the age of 18, or over the age of 65. Once you have passed, you won’t need to take the test again.
The test will assess you on your knowledge of Britain’s past and present. While you won’t need to remember dates of birth or death, you will need to have a strong historical understanding of Britain in order to pass.
The Life in the UK Test has 24 multiple-choice questions, and lasts for 45 minutes. The questions are chosen at random, and in order to pass, you need to achieve a mark of at least 75%. So that means, out of 24 questions, you will need to get at least 18 correct. The test is taken in English, although special arrangements can be made for anyone who would prefer to take the test in Welsh or in Scottish Gaelic.
In order to take the Life in the UK Test, you’ll need to book your test online at https://www.gov.uk/life-in-the-uk-test . The test can only be taken at a government registered test centre. There are 60 Life in the UK Test centres across the UK. If you take the test at any other establishment, without governmental permission, the results will be not be accepted.
When you book your test, you will need:
• An email address. This will be used to contact you/confirm your test date;
• A debit or credit card. To take payment for the test;
• An accepted form of ID. To ensure that you are a legitimate candidate. Accepted forms of ID include: a passport (which can be out of date), a UK driving licence, an EU identity card, an immigration status document with a UK residence permit, or a biometric residence permit.
When booking your test, it is essential that the name given on your test booking matches exactly with the ID that you use to book the test. You must include your full name, with any middle names, or you will be rejected.
After you’ve booked your test, you may need to wait for a short while before taking it. You are able to cancel your test without charge for up to 7 days after booking, but after those 7 days, you will not receive a refund in the event of cancellation.
Once you arrive at the test centre, you’ll need to be registered, so make sure you get there as early as possible. You’ll be required to sign a document confirming your attendance, and will be given the opportunity to take some practice questions prior to taking the actual test. These questions won’t count towards your actual mark, and are just there to help you become familiar with the testing software.
If you pass the test, then you will be provided with a Pass Notification Letter. You’ll need to sign this before you leave the centre, before taking it with you and sending it off as part of your citizenship application. It is essential that you keep this safe, as you won’t be able to get a replacement.
In the event that you fail, you’ll be eligible to book and pay for the test again, but you’ll need to wait for at least 7 days before doing so.
Why Do I Need to Take the Test?
