Real results
Thousands have passed their test with this platform.
Every review is from someone who sat the real Life in the UK test after practising here.
“Passed first time!”
I was nervous about the test but after two weeks of daily practice on here I passed with 22/24. The explanations are brilliant — they actually teach you the material, not just the answers.
“So much better than the official practice test.”
The government practice test is just 10 questions. This platform has hundreds — every topic, every chapter. Real preparation.
“No login, no nonsense.”
I love that you can just start practising immediately without creating an account. No popups, no subscription pressure. Just questions.
“Best revision tool.”
I spent £50 on an exam and failed. Then I found this, studied seriously for 10 days, and sailed through with 22/24. Wish I had found it sooner.

“The best free resource out there.”
Tried several other sites and this is by far the most accurate. The questions felt almost identical to the real thing. Passed with 21 correct.
“Brilliant explanations.”
What I love most is that every wrong answer comes with an explanation that cites the relevant page of the handbook. I learned so much more than just facts.
“Finally passed after two failures.”
Failed the real test twice before I found this site. The topic-by-topic breakdown showed me exactly where I was going wrong. Third time lucky — passed!
“Passed on my lunch breaks!”
Mobile-first design means I practised for 20 mins every lunch break at work. Enough to feel confident for the real test. Passed 19/24.
