Written from the official handbook, plain answers, free and no account needed.
Written in the style of the official test, sorted by chapter.
A short, plain explanation the moment you choose.
Your results show the chapters that still need work.
You should know what you are practising on. Here is exactly what these questions are, and what they are not.
Every question is written from "Life in the United Kingdom: A Guide for New Residents" (3rd edition), the book the real test is set from.
The real questions are not published by anyone. Ours cover the same material in the same style, so the practice is honest about what it is.
All 1,093 questions carry a short plain-English explanation, and the bank covers all five chapters of the handbook.
Where the handbook and present-day Britain disagree, we follow the handbook, because that is what the test examines. Those questions carry a note saying so, so you are never left wondering.
You do not have to plan your revision. Press start and the next test is already built around what you have and have not got right.
Questions you have never seen come first, so you work through the whole bank instead of circling the same few.
A question you got wrong is brought forward, though never ahead of new ground.
Answer a question and it goes to the back of the queue for 30 minutes, whether you got it right or wrong. It is held back rather than taken out, so a test is never short of questions.
One right answer can be a lucky guess, so a question stops being chased as something to fix only once you get it right twice running. It still comes round again in the normal mix, and one wrong answer puts it back on the list to work on.
Tell us when you are sitting it and the mix shifts, favouring breadth early on and review as the day gets closer.
The questions are the point of this site. These sit around the edge of them, for the days you want a target, a nudge, or something to revise from away from a screen.
Set your test date and every screen counts down to it.
An optional nudge on the days you have not practised.
See which of the five chapters are solid and which are not.
The facts you keep missing, on one page you can print.
Straight answers to the practical questions about sitting the test, each one checked against GOV.UK.
Wider background reading, from how hard the test really is to preparing for it in a second language.
The test has 24 questions and you have 45 minutes to answer them. The questions are multiple choice, so you pick the best answer from the options on the screen.
You must score 75 percent or more to pass, which means at least 18 correct answers out of 24. GOV.UK states this on its what happens at the test page.
The test is very passable with steady practice, though it does take real preparation. You need 18 correct out of 24 to pass, which is 75 percent, so you can get some questions wrong and still pass.
It depends on you, but many people prepare over about 2 to 8 weeks, depending on how much they already know. Short, regular practice works better than one long session.
The test currently costs £50 to book, and you pay this each time you take it. Because of that, it is worth being confident in your practice scores before you book, so that you do not pay the fee more than once.
Every question on this site is free, with no account, no card and no adverts. A one off Pass Pack with the deeper study tools comes later, and it is a single payment rather than a subscription.
