Get the right study material
The test is based on the official handbook 'Life in the United Kingdom: A Guide for New Residents', so make it your main source and check you have the current edition. The test is a computer-based, multiple-choice exam of 24 questions taken in 45 minutes, and the pass mark is 75 percent, which means 18 correct answers. Check the current fee and rules on GOV.UK before you start, as these can change.
