Official Life in the UK Test for Negative User Reviews

It needs to update the questionsI just took the exam today and there were a lot of questions that aren’t in this app, and went thru the whole questions in this app. I would recommend getting the book as well. I managed to pass but, because some of the questions are common sense other require some knowledge..Version: 1.2.10

You need more than this app to pass the testDon't be fooled by other readers. This app will get you a 50/50 chance to pass the test. But you most certainly need to read most of the book (mostly the chapters on history and politics). Thankfully I came here and read the reviews the morning before my test. Bought the eKindle book, and managed to read half of of the book just before taking the test. And guess what? At least 6 questions were from book knowledge, most common sense, and the rest from the app. The app helps tremendously to increase your knowledge tenfold. But it won't let you pass the test with it alone. It's not like the driving test apps. You've been warned. Hence my 3 star review. As an app, and starting place to practice, though, it is ace..Version: 1.2.1

The app stopped workingThe app was actually not bad at all, I was using it for a week or so, but then, very suddenly, it’s just stopped working. I can’t open it now even after redownloading (several times), it’s freezes on the main page... so I’m quite disappointed so far, really shame..Version: 2.2.3

Good to train but not as hard as the real test!This App would help you to train on 50% of the questions of the real test, but you will need to have some logic and learn by heart most of the book to pass. In less than a week you can master it and pass the test. Train also on other free App to ensure you cover a wide sort of questions. Good luck!.Version: 1.2.1

Don’t rely on the app on its ownThe app is a great tool to prepare the test. It is easy to use and I got a general idea of each topic but please don’t only rely on the app to prepare for your test because only 40-50% of the actual test questions are from the app. Even if you nail the mock test in the app, I don’t think it will get you pass in the real test because you will not know a lot of answer unless you read the book..Version: 1.2.6

Overpriced for what it offerI bought the app based on the fact that it’s the official. It has a lot of good exams and test to do. It will give you a good direction for the exam, however you need to read the book as well. The app is a bit overpriced for what it offers and questions get repetitive. I would recommend doing other test online as well. Good luck..Version: 1.2.6

Nothing to do with the actual testThe questions in the app have nothing to do with the test. My pass rate in 14 mocks is 97% and gave me false confidence. 80% of the questions in real test were completely different. I would not recommend to use this app. Update after TMO response: the questions in the app do not contain at least 50% of information that is in the test, it is not about wording. One can get lucky and receive similar questions as per app reviews or one doesn’t get lucky and then you just do not know the facts that are being asked. Still would not recommend, I believe it should be clear in the ad that the book should be used not app..Version: 2.0.6

Don’t waste your moneySo much worse than the others even though this is the “official” one. I fit the tests 50 times and still it wouldn’t give me all the questions. Just kept repeating the same ones over and over again. It’s knowledge and test questions were very limited compared to the handbooks and study guide. The other unofficial apps are better and cost a quarter of the price. Don’t waste your money.Version: 2.2.4

Quite expensive for what it isBased on a fixed set of questions for each topic. Chapter 1 (20 qns), Chapter 2 (20 qns), Chapter 3 (137 qns), Chapter 4 (126 qns), Chapter 5 (121 qns). All study, practice, quick tests, mock tests are just combinations of these qns, sometimes rephrased. The features are well-implemented. For the price, I feel this is inadequate, as LifeInUK test is not like the Driving Theory test where you have a master set of questions..Version: 1.2.1

This is a good test before the real one.When you read the book you don’t know what kind of styles of questions will be at the real test. This app provides a good mock up test. However, how the questions are formed is quite different on the real test. So, if you didn’t read a book and fully rely only on the app you might panic. Read the book first and exercise with this..Version: 1.2.6

Not enough to passHi everyone I have passed my test today just because I have done hundreds of the tests and read the book. I have been unlucky and 80% of the questions were completely different to the app. Some people say they got the same. My test was in Croydon not sure if that matters. Read the book and write down important people and dates, awards, places. The app helps but don’t rely on it at all. Good luck everyone x.Version: 2.2.6

Good set of qs to get startedAlthough questions are relevant this app is not enough to pass, I also downloaded another one with 1224 qs - do the questions from two apps twice and you’ll be fine. Passed with apps only, did not read the book. Also, they do ask for dates on the test.Version: 2.2.4

Questions are not similar with questions on the testNot more than 5 questions on my actual test were similar with this app. Other misleading thing is that on the actual test you need to choose two answers out of four, while in the app you choose one answer with two numbers. I was very surprised on the test..Version: 1.2.1

Poorly implemented and factually incorrect at timesOn the technical side, this app isn’t particularly well designed. Practice tests frequently contain multiple variations of the same question. The user interface is a bit clunky, in many cases you get a list of numbered options and then have to select an answer from another list that refers to the first list. Annoyingly, many of the questions haven’t been fact checked or are frequently under specified. In some cases, the “correct” answer is in fact incorrect if verified against ONS or other relevant government sources..Version: 1.2.10

Little relevance to actual testI got to the the point where I knew 99% of the answers and was feeling super confident going in. Unfortunately, these practice materials bore little resemblance to what I was actually tested on. Feels like I wasted a lot of time with the app. I’ll be more prepared for a pub quiz now at least!.Version: 2.2.3

The actual test is different!I spent 3 weeks studying every single question in the study area, as well as doing around 50 mock tests and going through the flash cards every day. Today was my test. 1/3 of the questions were similar to the ones in the app, another 1/3 was somehow related but required lots of logical thinking and having some actual knowledge not bluntly relying on the questions in the app and the other 1/3 was not even mentioned in the app. Non of the questions was actually the same. I did pass but it was rather stressful and required lots of general knowledge. If I had to sit the rest again I’d rather buy a book and study. Do not rely only on this app..Version: 1.2.10

Not that usefulI used this exclusively to study. Did countless practice test to the point I could pass them confidently with nearly 100 percent. On one hand this helped me pass the exam. On the other hand I passed by the skin of my teeth. Over 15 questions I had never seen before on this app and I had no clue what was right or wrong for over half of them. All I could do was blind guess for those and I got lucky..Version: 1.2.6

NOT OFFICIAL!! Not a Substitute for the Official Study BookMy husband and I purchased this app in prep for taking the Life in the UK test. We studied all 424 flash cards and took numerous mock exams. We entered the exam room on Saturday feeling confident...until the actual questions appeared on the text screen. I felt ill when I realised that I barely recognised ANY of the test questions. After the test was over, the lady who gives the result said the only "official" study guide is the book. This app has a lot of information about the UK but little to do with the actual exam content. The admin need to remove the banner that says "official" from this app. It's a giant waste of time and energy if preparing for the LITUK exam not to mention a waste of money as you will likely fail the exam if this is your only reference material. What a shame because the study format is actually good. Use it for Trivia Night..Version: 1.2.1

Mock exams on here in comparison to the real examI sat my exam today and I got to say I completed relief on this app as I thought it was an official representation of what is in the book but to my surprise none of the “often repeated” questions in this apps mock exam appeared except for maybe one. I wish the mock exam was more diverse and random instead being the same bunch of questions almost in every mock exam. I found the real exam very very different from the mock exam on this app and much more difficult so I would strongly advise that you buy the book instead..Version: 2.0.3

It’s ok but not amazingLet’s star with the positive part. The study card are very good to learn, you can choose the topic and they will explain you the answer regardless you get it right or wrong. I would definitely recommend these for exercise they are very useful especially when you’re not at home. What I didn’t like is the mock exam, to me is pretty much useless . Always and I say always you find the same easier common question . For example I always get the question about how the UK and Great Britain are structured and which one is a Uk crown dependency for example 4/5 times in the same test !! I done other tests found online and they are proper difficult tests (how I like it). So I would say for practicing it’s good but don’t focus on the mock exam, do a few so you get an idea of how your test would be but keep in mind is quite useless. Study the book instead and you’ll pass for sure !.Version: 2.0.3

Dont rely on this solelyIt looks nice and is OK. There were six questions at the test which were not here, quite frustrating! The answer at the real test has no "and"s for example they dont have two names when they ask about someone famous, you could select two answers instead. Other than that, I passed at the first time..Version: 2.3.7

Most of the questions are identicalMost of the questions are identical. You may not see some questions from outside app. If I have to pay money, for such few question, I will say it’s worthless. I have been doing same questions many many times. I do think this app is really not enough to so called official. I think unofficial app covers much more. All questions in this app are easy and straightforward. Don’t let this be cheated..Version: 2.2.6

UselessI just had the life in the Uk test today and failed. I never failed on the dozen of mock tests of the app. The questions on the mock tests are always the same and very easy compare to the actual test. So many subjects are never covered. I bought the app based on the fact that it is the official one but this was a waste of money and my husband who didn’t use it passed the test easily. Don’t waste your time..Version: 2.2.4

Not enough to passI wish I would have read all these reviews before! This is the official app, what can go wrong, I thought. Well I had 93% accuracy on over 100 practice tests, did 5 mock exams the night before which I passed and then boom I failed the test and now I have to wait 4 more weeks since there are no slots. None of the questions were the same, from my memory, really not a single one! So this app is only checking whether you’ve properly read the book, but not wether you’d pass!.Version: 1.2.10

Doesn’t worth a pennyThis app had very little to do with the actual exam. The questions are completely different and it doesn’t give you a proper feedback on your progress. After reading the book, I used this app to test myself and get prepared for the type of questions. There was 1 question that was relating somehow to the question on the app, the rest are extremely difficult questions not easy like these ones. I passed every time I practiced and it didn’t help anything. I wish I’d never bought this..Version: 1.2.6

IncompleteI give the app only one star, for this one reason. IT IS INCOMPLETE It does not mislead the user or claim to be the definitive source of information, but I don’t understand why one would creat an “Official” app and create it in a way where it is incomplete. The point of a study aid is to help people. To point people to the content that they will be tested on. Why not create a complete app, that contains ALL of the information, and ALL of the possible questions. More questions than can be asked on the test would be better than not. If the goal is to make sure people learn the material thoroughly, then creat an app that effectively teaches all of the content. Instead, I had to use this app, and then unofficial apps which turned out to be far more complete. They included ALL of the content from the book. They summarised the various battles in order of date rather than the information being scattered. It is so much more useful once you’ve read the content to be able to read it on a timeline in order. Anyway. Had I just used this app I would have failed the test, and so in my opinion it is a poor aid. It doesn’t claim to be complete, but it should be. PUT THE ENTIRE BOOK IN THE APP It doesn’t have to be free..Version: 2.0.3

Doesn’t have most questionsI regret that I didn’t check the review before my test. I finished every single question in this app but sadly I still failed my live in uk test. Like some of the comments, this App only contain about 10 exact questions out of 24 in my test. About 5 of them are coming from tweaks of this app’s questions(you have to remember all the details under each question clearly). I guessed the rest and “Surprisingly” failed. I think this App should make it obvious that it doesn’t contain most questions right on the first page..Version: 1.2.10

Just because it’s official don’t mean it’s the best.Ok it’s got all the questions but when you do a mock exam the same questions keep on coming up again and again so you don’t really get to see all the questions. Also when I updated my iPhone the app was not updated for weeks and for something this important that’s just unacceptable. Basically there are other apps that are free and are better than paying for this app in my opinion..Version: 1.2.6

Not enough to pass the testI just did my Life in the UK test yesterday (and passed). I read the official book and did 70 mock exams with this app. I had an average pass rate of 90% at the end when I stopped practicing. This app is a bad indicator. I had 7 questions in the exam where I needed to guess and never had them in the mock exams of this app. I was lucky and passed but learning from my experience today, the app is nice but the exam questions were more tricky than the questions in the app and in my case 7 never appeared here. Just not good enough for practicing..Version: 1.2.1

Not a smart appIf you open a topic to start and you stop in the middle when you come back to it there you go you have to start from beginning, every time the questions have different order which is good but because of this you can not pause the question and study from where you stopped, You also need to read the book too this is not enough to pass the test They could add the book too and ask for 1 or 2 pound extra, Or there could be an offer as we already have this for the e book we just need to pay X pound.Version: 2.0.3
