Where the 24 questions come from
The 24 questions are drawn at random from the official handbook, *Life in the United Kingdom: A Guide for New Residents* (3rd edition). It's organised into five chapters, and questions can come from any of them — so leaving one out is a risk.
The five chapters your questions come from
| Chapter | What it covers |
|---|---|
| 1. Values and principles | The fundamental principles of British life and what they mean |
| 2. What is the UK? | The countries, capitals and make-up of the UK |
| 3. A long and illustrious history | Key events, dates and figures across British history |
| 4. A modern, thriving society | Culture, sport, traditions and everyday life today |
| 5. Government, the law and your role | How the UK is governed, the legal system and your part in it |
Because any chapter can appear, cover them all. Britzen builds each mock from a bank that spans all five chapters, so no single test leans too hard on one topic.
