Life in the UK Test: use the official booking route
Before paying for a Life in the UK Test, check the requirement for your own application and use the government booking service. A search advertisement is not proof of official status.
Check whether it is required
The test forms part of some settlement and citizenship routes, with exceptions.
The GOV.UK guidance is the starting point; this article does not decide an individual’s eligibility or whether an exemption applies.

Match the identity details
The official test costs £50 and must be booked at least three days ahead.
Read the accepted-ID rules and ensure the booking details match the document. Correct preparation includes the administrative details, not just learning the material.
Know what you are buying
The test has twenty-four questions over forty-five minutes.
A preparation product is not a test booking, and a third-party fee is not necessarily the official charge. No test has been booked or personal document checked for this guide.
