> **Sit practice exam 4** — 24 questions · 45-minute timer · pass at 18 · no account needed → [Start exam 4](https://uktestmate.co.uk/index.html?exam=4)

## What this paper is like

Practice exam 4 follows the shape of the official test exactly: 24 multiple-choice questions, 45 minutes on the clock, and 18 correct answers needed to pass — 75%. You can flag questions and come back to them, and if you close the tab mid-paper we save your place so you can pick it up where you left off.

The paper is fixed, so exam 4 is always exam 4 — useful if you want to re-sit it after revising and compare scores honestly. Citizen rights, elections and the sixteenth century.
