FAQ
Questions, answered.
What is Citizenly?
Citizenly is a study app for the Life in the UK test, for people applying for British citizenship or indefinite leave to remain (ILR). You can take free mock tests on this website, then keep practising in the app.
Is it free?
The mock tests on this website are free, and the app is free to download.
Is Citizenly official?
No. Citizenly is independent and is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the UK Government, the Home Office or TSO. Our questions are our own, written from the facts in the Life in the UK handbook (3rd edition).
How close are these mock tests to the real test?
They use the same format: 24 questions, 45 minutes, a pass mark of 18, and no feedback until you submit. Our questions mix medium and hard, so a good score here means you understand the material, not that you have seen the questions before.
Why does the website only explain some mistakes?
The website shows your score, your chapter breakdown and your first few mistakes. The app explains every answer, saves your mistakes to revisit, and tracks your progress over time.
Does it cover both citizenship and ILR?
Yes. Both applications use the same Life in the UK test.
Is there an Android app?
Not yet. We are starting with iPhone.
