How it works

Three steps to test day

  1. 1

    Learn as you go

    Untimed practice shows the right answer and why, so every mistake teaches you something.

  2. 2

    Fix your weak spots

    Your progress page shows which chapters and topics are letting you down, and drills them.

  3. 3

    Prove it on the clock

    Pass mock exams under real conditions until the readiness tracker says you’re set.

Real exam conditions

24 questions, 45 minutes, 18 correct to pass. The same shape as the real thing, with a running clock and no feedback until you finish.

Explanations that stick

In practice, every answer comes with the reasoning and the handbook chapter it came from, plus memory tips for the facts people mix up.

Your weak areas, on purpose

The weak areas exam weights itself towards the questions and topics you get wrong, instead of asking the ones you already know.

By chapter or by topic

Drill a whole chapter, or narrow it to one topic, such as the Tudors and Stuarts or the UK government, when you know which part is letting you down.

Know when you’re ready

A readiness tracker with three plain goals: pass mocks in a row, keep your accuracy up, and cover the bank. When all three are met, book the test.

Save the tricky ones

Bookmark any question and practise just those later. Or squeeze in a 10-question quiz while the kettle boils.

Please read this bit

This is not the official test and it is not affiliated with the Home Office. The Home Office does not publish the real exam questions, and nobody who claims to have them actually does.

The question bank here is compiled from community sources, all of them based on the official handbook, Life in the United Kingdom: A Guide for New Residents (3rd edition). Practising here is a good way to learn the handbook. It is not a substitute for reading it, and passing here is not a guarantee of passing the real test.
