All questions are original practice questions written by Tutwoo – they are not real test questions. The real test is based only on the official handbook, Life in the United Kingdom: A Guide for New Residents (3rd edition), so study it alongside this course. You must book the real test only through GOV.UK (gov.uk/life-in-the-uk-test).
