Preparing for test day in Bolton
The Life in the UK Test is a computer-based exam with 24 multiple-choice questions and a 45-minute time limit. You need to answer at least 18 correctly (75%) to pass.
Follow your appointment instructions for arrival time and ID. Check the current GOV.UK booking and ID guidance, including the eVisa share-code route, before travelling.
After you finish, you should receive an email with your result and unique reference number (URN) within about 10 minutes. The result is also available in your Life in the UK Test account. Paper result letters apply only to tests taken before 17 December 2019. If you do not pass, you can rebook - the new test date just needs to be at least 3 days ahead.
