Unlike static PDF practice papers, this mock test runs in your browser with a live countdown timer, a question navigator so you can flag and revisit questions, and an instant results page showing exactly which questions you got right, wrong, or left unanswered.
What does the mock test cover?
Each mock test draws a balanced spread of questions across all five official syllabus areas: British values and principles, what the UK is, UK history, modern society, and government and law. No single topic dominates a test, matching the balance of the real exam.
How is it scored?
You need 18 or more correct answers out of 24 (75%) to pass. The results page shows your percentage, a full breakdown of correct, incorrect and unanswered questions, and lets you review every question with its correct answer and explanation.
