A calm 4-week study plan for the Life in the UK test

Week 1: Build your base

• Read short sections every day, even if it is only 10 to 15 minutes.
• Focus on core definitions: the UK nations, values, and test format.
• End each session with 3 to 5 quick questions.

Week 2: History and timelines

• Map the major eras (early Britain, Middle Ages, Tudors, 20th century).
• Use mini timelines to recall key dates without cramming.
• Review mistakes twice in the same week.

Week 3: Government, law, and society

• Learn how Parliament, devolved governments, and courts work.
• Practice question sets that mix history and modern life.
• Do one full mock test at the end of the week.

Week 4: Confidence and polish

• Shift to mixed review and mock exams.
• Aim for 80 percent or higher on at least two mock tests.
• Light review the day before your exam.

If your schedule is tight, keep daily sessions short but consistent. The test is short too, so clarity matters more than marathon sessions.
