UKRoute is a completely free website that helps you prepare for the Life in the UK Test and the NMC CBT for overseas nurses, and navigate everyday life in the UK. Here is how it works.
It is free
Every feature on UKRoute is free. There are no paywalls, no premium tiers, and no hidden charges. You can take as many practice tests as you like, as often as you like, without paying a penny.
Practice tests
- Choose a test from the practice tests page — either a full mock or a topic-based set of questions.
- Answer the questions within the time limit, just like the real exam.
- Submit your answers to get an instant score and a pass/fail result, plus a breakdown by topic so you can see your weak areas.
- Review every question with a detailed explanation of the correct answer.
Study guides
Our study guides cover every topic on the Life in the UK Test, with key facts, important dates, and people to remember. The NMC CBT has its own study section with 17 topics.
Flashcards
Use flashcards to test yourself by category, shuffle the deck, and revise quickly before your exam.
Tools and checklists
Our calculators help with salary, take-home pay, budgeting, mortgages, fuel costs, and more. The Life Admin checklists walk you through practical tasks like moving home, getting a driving licence, and setting up your first UK home.
Creating an account (optional)
You can use UKRoute without an account. If you register, you get a free My UKRoute dashboard where you can:
- see your test history, best score, and average score
- save your checklist progress
- keep track of your revision across attempts
