It is the Home Office civics test for settlement and citizenship: 24 multiple-choice questions in 45 minutes, pass mark 18/24 (75%), £50, with unlimited retakes. The official test is set from the handbook Life in the United Kingdom: A Guide for New Residents; PrepaUK’s questions cover the same topics without reproducing it.

For settlement or naturalisation you must prove your English with an approved SELT (Secure English Language Test) in speaking & listening. The level is CEFR B1 today, rising to B2 for settlement applications made on or after 26 March 2027; naturalisation currently stays at B1. Approved certifiers include Trinity GESE, IELTS Life Skills, LanguageCert SELT and PTE Home.

KoLL stands for Knowledge of Language and Life in the UK. To settle or naturalise you generally need to meet both parts: pass the Life in the UK Test and meet the English language requirement.

Most applicants aged 18–64 need both, but there are exemptions (for example on grounds of age or a long-term condition, and some nationals of majority-English-speaking countries are exempt from the English test). Always check your own case on gov.uk — PrepaUK is a study aid, not immigration advice.

The Life in the UK mode is marked out of 24 (pass 18); the English mode gives an indicative CEFR speaking & listening estimate. These are estimates to guide your revision — only your official test result is authoritative.

No. All questions, scenarios and audio are original, written by our team in the exam formats. We do not reproduce the Home Office handbook or any real exam questions. Audio is generated with synthetic British-English (en-GB) voices.

The app offers full timed papers in the Life in the UK format and English listening mocks. At the end you get an estimated score and an indicative verdict, so you know if you are on track.

An adaptive algorithm selects questions by prioritising your weak spots: topics you master less well, skill (audio vs text) and items reviewed a long time ago (spaced repetition).
