How it works

A calmer way to revise.

Three honest steps. No gimmicks, no streaks-as-guilt, no dark patterns. Just enough structure to get you from “I've put this off” to “I booked it.”

01
01 · Start

Try the questions before you sign up.

Try three free questions, see your score and explanations, and get a suggested first study step. No signup is needed for the sample quiz.

02
02 · Practice

Short daily sessions, targeted at your gaps.

15-minute sessions mix flashcards, multiple-choice, and spaced repetition. Bertie explains in plain English when you get something wrong.

03
03 · Book

When your readiness hits 85%, book the test.

Your readiness score grows with every answer you give. When it's green, and has stayed green for three sessions, you're genuinely ready. Book with confidence.

The problem

Most apps are
quietly broken.

We rebuilt the revision experience from scratch, starting with the thing nobody else fixes: the questions themselves.

Outdated questions
Answers that no longer match the handbook
Verified against the handbook
Every question · every update
Distracting ads
Pop-ups between every question
Zero ads, zero pop-ups
You paid for quiet
Confusing explanations
Memorising without understanding
Plain English · from Bertie
Or ask a follow-up
No sense of readiness
Booking the £50 test on a hunch
Know exactly when you're ready
Readiness score, not guesswork
What's inside

Every tool you need,
nothing you don't.

One paid upgrade unlocks the whole kit. No “Plus,” no “Pro,” no per-feature drip.

About the exam

What is the Life in the UK Test?

24questions
45minutes
75%pass mark

The Life in the UK test is a compulsory requirement for anyone applying for British citizenship or indefinite leave to remain (ILR) in the United Kingdom. Administered by the Home Office, the computer-based assessment covers British history, traditions, government, laws, and everyday life.

The exam consists of 24 multiple-choice questions drawn from the official study guide, Life in the United Kingdom: A Guide for New Residents. You have 45 minutes to complete it, and you need to answer at least 18 questions correctly (a 75% pass mark) to pass. There is no negative marking, so you should answer every question.

Around 50,000 people fail each year, often because they relied on outdated apps or incomplete study materials. Pass Britain was built to change that. Every question in our bank is verified against the current official handbook, and our AI tutor Bertie explains the reasoning behind each answer in plain English, so you genuinely understand the material, not just memorise it.

Whether you are preparing months in advance or cramming the week before your booking, Pass Britain adapts to your schedule with spaced repetition, realistic mock exams, and a readiness score that tells you exactly when you are ready to sit the real assessment.

How much does the Life in the UK Test cost?
The official Life in the UK Test costs £50 to book through GOV.UK. Pass Britain is a separate practice tool: £5 until 31 December 2026 (£24.99 afterwards) once for lifetime access to 1,000 verified questions, mock exams, and our AI tutor. Weekly and monthly subscriptions also include every feature and renew automatically until cancelled.
How many questions are on the Life in the UK Test?
The real exam consists of 24 multiple-choice questions drawn from the official Home Office handbook. You have 45 minutes to complete it and need to answer at least 18 correctly (a 75% pass mark) to pass. Pass Britain gives you 1,000 verified practice questions covering every topic the exam can test.
What is the pass mark for the Life in the UK Test?
You need to score 75% to pass, which is 18 out of 24 questions correct. There is no negative marking, so always answer every question even if you have to guess. Pass Britain's mock exams replicate the exact format and pass mark so you know exactly where you stand before test day.
What happens if I fail the Life in the UK Test?
If you do not pass, you can book another attempt and must pay the official £50 booking fee again. Check the current GOV.UK booking service for available dates and rules rather than relying on an unofficial waiting-period claim.
Is Pass Britain updated for 2026?
Yes. Every question is verified against the current official handbook and we update content whenever the Home Office changes the exam. Your lifetime purchase includes all future updates.
Do I need to download an app, or can I practise in my browser?
Both work. There is a Pass Britain app for iPhone and iPad on the App Store, and you can also practise in any modern browser on your phone, tablet, or computer — no download needed.
Is lifetime access really a one-time payment?
Yes. Pay once, keep forever. Weekly and monthly plans renew automatically. Lifetime is one payment, with no premium tiers locked behind extra fees. Your lifetime purchase includes every feature: 1,000 questions, unlimited mock exams, the Bertie tutor, audio lessons, spaced repetition, and all future updates.
What if I don't pass after using Pass Britain?
For Premium bought directly from us on the web, contact us within 14 days of purchase for a full refund. For an app-store purchase, submit the request within 14 days through Apple or Google; the store controls processing and eligibility. This is a refund policy, not a pass guarantee, and it does not depend on a readiness score or mock-test result.
Who needs to take the Life in the UK Test?
The Life in the UK Test is mandatory for anyone applying for British citizenship through naturalisation or for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR/settlement). Some people are exempt, including those under 18, over 65, or with a long-term physical or mental condition.
How long should I study for the Life in the UK Test?
Most candidates need 3 to 6 weeks of consistent practice to feel comfortable. Pass Britain's readiness score shows you exactly when you're ready to book, typically when you're consistently scoring above 85% on mock exams.
