Life in the UK Test Study Guide

The official handbook, Life in the United Kingdom: A Guide for New Residents, is split into five chapters — and every test question comes from it. Below is a free summary of each chapter.

The five handbook chapters

1. The values and principles of the UK → 2. What is the UK? → 3. A long and illustrious history → 4. A modern, thriving society → 5. The UK government, the law and your role →

How to use this guide

The test rewards active recall. Read a chapter, then practise questions on it and review anything you get wrong. Repeat until you score comfortably above the 18/24 (75%) pass mark.

See the Life in the UK test FAQ for the rules on booking, cost and exemptions.
