This is what the Life in the UK Test will look like.
The little boxes on the top allow you to move between questions. Each of the 24 boxes stands for one question.
You can select a different question by clicking a box with your mouse. You can also move to the desired box by using the keyboard.
A white box means that you have not yet visited a question.
A white box with a blue outline means you have visited a question but not answered it.
A blue box means you have answered a question.
Using the boxes to move around the test lets you visit questions first and return to them later. This is especially useful when you’re not sure what the answer to a question is, or if you want to change a previous answer.
Selecting Hear the question turns on the audio. This reads out the question to you. There may be a slight delay before you can hear the question.
Selecting Next question takes you to the next question in the test.
Selecting Previous question returns you to the previous question in the test.
Questions left to answer tells you how many questions you have left to answer. Questions answered tells you how many you have answered.
The timer counts down your time from when you start the test.
It is always there, so you know how much time you have left.
Halfway through the test time, you will get a time alert. You will get two more time alerts: ten and two minutes before the test ends.
To select the first answer, press the number 1.
To select the second answer, press the number 2.
To select the third answer, press the number 3.
To select the fourth answer, press the number 4.
To deselect an answer, press the relevant number key again.
To move to the next question, select N.
To move to the previous question, select P.
To hear the question, select H.
To finish the test, select F.
When you move to an answer, the area around it turns grey. This means the answer is active and you can select it. If you are using a mouse, your pointer arrow will also change to a pointer finger.
Once you select an answer, the area around it turns white. If you have selected a radio button, a dot will also appear in the circle. If you have selected a tick box, a tick will appear in the box.
The Finish test button ends the test.
You select Finish test when you have completed all 24 questions. If you run out of time, your test will end automatically. You will not be allowed to finish your current question.
Don’t worry if you select Finish test by mistake; you will be asked to confirm your decision.
Remember: none of your answers are final until you select Finish test and confirm your decision.
