关于英国入籍考试

考试于 2005 年推出，目的是确认新居民了解他们将要长期生活的社会：从民主和法治这些基本原则，到圣诞节、苏格兰除夕这样的日常传统。它不是英语考试，但题目全部是英文。

The test was introduced in 2005 to make sure new residents understand the society they are joining, from basic principles such as democracy and the rule of law to everyday traditions like Christmas and Hogmanay. It is not an English test, but every question is in English.

很多人以为通过考试就能拿到永居。其实它只是申请材料中的一项：你还要满足居住年限、英语水平、良好品格等条件。考试成绩本身没有有效期，可以先考，等符合其他条件后再递交申请。

Many people assume passing the test gets them settlement. In fact it is only one part of the application: you also need the right residence period, English level and good character. A pass does not expire, so you can take it early and apply once you meet the other requirements.

考题从一个很大的题库随机抽取，每个人拿到的题都不一样，所以"背真题"行不通。官方从不公开题库，任何声称拥有"原题"的渠道都不可信。最可靠的方法是把手册内容理解透，再用大量模拟题检验。

Questions are drawn at random from a large bank, so everyone gets a different paper and memorising "real questions" does not work. The official question bank is never published, and anyone claiming to sell the actual questions should not be trusted. The reliable approach is to understand the handbook and then test yourself with plenty of practice questions.

45 分钟答 24 题，时间通常很充裕。多数人 15–20 分钟就能答完。遇到拿不准的题可以先标记，最后回头检查。"选两项"的题必须两个都选对才得分。

Forty-five minutes for 24 questions is usually plenty of time; most people finish in 15 to 20 minutes. You can flag uncertain questions and come back to them. For "choose two" questions you must pick both correct answers to score.

有 eVisa 的人，预约时需要从 UKVI 账户生成一个 share code。没有 eVisa 的人可以用：有效护照；欧盟、瑞士、冰岛、列支敦士登或挪威的有效身份证；带照片的有效旅行证件（紧急旅行证件除外）。

If you have an eVisa, you need a share code from your UKVI account when booking. Without an eVisa you can use a valid passport; a valid ID card from the EU, Switzerland, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway; or a valid travel document with a photo (not an emergency travel document).

考场管理比较严格：手机、包等个人物品要存放在外，不能带纸笔或参考资料。考前会有几道练习题让你熟悉电脑操作，不计分。

Test centres are strict: phones and bags are stored away, and you cannot bring paper, pens or notes. There are a few practice questions before the real test so you can get used to the screen; they do not count.

豁免规则以申请时的官方指引为准，不同签证类型的细节可能不同。如果你在 2019 年 12 月 17 日之前考过，你手上的是"test reference ID"信件而不是唯一参考编号，申请时按表格说明填写即可。

Exemption rules follow the official guidance at the time you apply, and details can differ between routes. If you passed before 17 December 2019, you will have a "test reference ID" letter rather than a unique reference number; follow the application form's instructions.

B1 大致相当于能就熟悉的话题进行日常交流；B2 要求更流利，能较自然地讨论较复杂的话题。B2 只考听说，不考读写。2026 年 1 月 8 日起首次申请技术工作签证（Skilled Worker）和 Scale-up 签证的人，已经需要 B2。

B1 roughly means you can hold everyday conversations on familiar topics; B2 means you can speak more fluently on more complex subjects. The B2 requirement covers speaking and listening only. Skilled Worker and Scale-up applicants who first applied on or after 8 January 2026 already need B2.

本站每章都分成两层：衬线体的"考纲要点"是必须记住的事实；无衬线体的"拓展讲解"帮你理解来龙去脉，让记忆更牢。时间紧的话，先把所有考纲要点过一遍，再做模拟题。

Every chapter on this site has two layers: the serif "syllabus points" are the facts you need to remember, and the sans-serif "in depth" notes explain the background so the facts stick. If you are short of time, read all the syllabus points first and then do the mock tests.
