    I got 96% but don't know which question I got wrong
    Took me 3mins 6sec

    I'd have to say that from that experience the new test is rather easier that the previous one. This new one is more like a general knowledge quiz. Well from the standpoint of a UK citizen who went through UK schooling.
    The old test often had questions about %'s and stats on different ethnicity/religions/populations etc
    Just my personal opinion

    Have try, it doesn't take long and it's a full 24 question sample test
    Pass equals 75% (18 correct answers)

    Here's another, just for fun and the challenge

    I found this one much more challenging and very centred on history

    Click here to start

    This leads directly into the test so be ready to hit the ground running. Good Luck

    I managed 92% with 2 wrong answers
    (yes, I know which ones I got wrong. Rightly too as I just did't know )

    My time was 4mins 22sec. Needed to think a bit about some of those questions

    Snap - I got the Citizenship Pledge and the year of the European Convention on Civil Rights wrong, in 2 mins 48 secs.

    I think the question on the number of members of the Security Council is sneaky, although I got it right.

    Other than that, not a bad test.

    Could have had something on Marlborough, Wellington or Nelson, I thought, and something on the Industrial Revolution.

    Was not expecting "Clive of India was a good bloke - discuss!" ;)

    I am so glad the Mrs has passed this thing (old style). I wonder if the reciting of God Save the Queen is required with this new version, as was indicated when they first revealed a new version last year.

    Sorry for that. I think the worst part of it was the stress. We found the time in the run up to her taking the test very stressful, especially with a young baby in the house. To my wife's credit she worked hard on the material and I reckon that is what got her through, first time.

    88% in 3-4 minutes, I'm obviously the thick one hear. To be honest they should be teaching this stuff in schools today!!!

    88% Seems to be quite a different curriculum.

    As a Brit, I found this test easier than the older one. I don't think my wife would have found it any easier though. Just different material to her.

    I got 96%. It does seem much easier than the old test.

    You can see which questions you answered incorrectly by pressing next when you get the result. I got 1 wrong.

    Hello Amit, welcome to the forum :oops:

    There's quite a few LIUK practice test available via Apps for iPhone/iPad
    Check iTunes or Look here

    Or try here where you find a good number of complete tests together with a timer.


    Or here

    I'm sure that if you do a quick internet search you come by lots more too.

    I think the only 'pattern' is that the questions are completely based on chapters 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 :rolleyes:

    Good luck for your upcoming test.

    Take you time, stay calm and be sure to use ALL the allowed time. Even if it's just checking and re-checking.
    A good clue can often be found in those answers that clearly do not fit
