Course Description
​
The Life in the UK Test is a requirement for individuals seeking to obtain British citizenship or indefinite leave to remain. Introduced in 2005, the test aims to ensure that applicants have a basic understanding of British history, culture, laws, and customs. The underlying motive is to promote social cohesion and instill a sense of belonging among new residents.
​
To fulfil the requirements, applicants must also have an English qualification at B1 or above or complete a degree which has been taught in English.
As well as offering English Qualifications from beginner to upper advanced, LEO School is now able to offer a Life In The UK Course which is open to adults and A level students who wish to take the course when they are 18.

Life in the UK Test consists of 24 multiple-choice questions, which applicants must complete within 45 minutes. To pass, candidates must correctly answer at least 75% of the questions, meaning a minimum of 18 correct answers is required.
