Life in the UK Test study guide
Plain-English explainers for each chapter of the handbook: what actually gets tested, and where people lose marks.
- 1 The values and principles of the UK What the UK expects of its citizens: the fundamental principles, your responsibilities, and what you are agreeing to when you take the oath.
- 2 What is the UK? The four countries of the United Kingdom, the Crown dependencies and the overseas territories. Short, but reliably tested.
- 3 A long and illustrious history From the Stone Age to the present day. This is the longest chapter and the one most people fail on — dates, monarchs, wars and Acts.
- 4 A modern, thriving society Arts, sport, customs, religion and places of interest. Lots of names and dates, and easy marks if you revise it.
- 5 The UK government, the law and your role Parliament, the constitution, the courts, and what is expected of you in your community.
