The Life in the United Kingdom test is a computer-based test constituting one of the requirements for anyone seeking Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK or naturalisation as a British citizen. It is designed to prove that the applicant has a sufficient knowledge of British life and sufficient proficiency in the English language. The test is a requirement under the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002. It consists of 24 questions covering topics such as British society, government, everyday life and employment. It has been criticised for containing factual errors, not serving its stated purpose, and expecting candidates to know information that would not be expected of native-born citizens.
