OK so in this video we're going to cover Chapter 3 of the official Life in the UK test book for 2021. This is called 'what is the UK'. I'm going to deal with the points people struggle with. Stick around to the end of this video, where I go over some example questions from the Life in the UK tests on this topic, including some of the more tricky ones.

Before we get to the example questions in the Life in the UK test for British citizenship, let's go over together the relevant section of the official guide. This sets out what the UK government expects you to know for the Life in the UK test in 2024.

The key points that people struggle with in answering the questions in this part of the Life in the UK test are understanding the different countries that make up the UK. So here are some example questions you may get:
True or false?
The pledge at the citizenship ceremony is:
I will give my loyalty to the United Kingdom and respect its rights and freedoms. I will uphold its democratic values. I will observe its laws faithfully and fulfil my duties and obligations as a British citizen.
The answer is 'true'.
True or false? The United Kingdom is made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The answer is 'true'
True or false? The official name of the country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain.
The answer is 'false'. The official name of the country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
True or false? 'Great Britain' refers to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
'False'. 'Great Britain' refers only to England, Scotland, Wales. It does not refer to Northern Ireland.
True or false? The Channel Islands and the Isle of Mann are islands closely linked to the UK but not part of it.
'True'. These have their own governments and are called Crown Dependencies.
True or false? St Helena and the Falkland Islands are British Overseas Territories.
True
They are linked to the UK but not part of it.
True or false? Scotland, Wales and Northern Island have parliaments or assemblies of their own with devolved powers in defined areas.
True
And the whole of the UK is governed by the Parliament sitting in Westminster.
So I recommend you memorise the different countries that make up the UK and listen again to this very short Chapter within the Life in the UK Test book (3rd edition).
OK in the next Life in the UK test video in this series we'll be covering the start of Chapter 4, on British history, together with some more sample questions.
