Life in the UK Test: 24 questions, 45 minutes, 75% to pass
uktest.com is an independent study aid. It is not the Home Office and it is not immigration advice. We do not book the official test.
The official test is booked on GOV.UK and taken at a test centre. GOV.UK says the test has 24 questions and lasts 45 minutes, and that you are tested only on the official Guide for New Residents.
On what happens at the test, GOV.UK says: "You must score 75% or more to pass the test." 18 of 24 is 75%. That 18/24 figure is how this site scores its mock. GOV.UK prints the 75% line, not "18/24".
