Can you pass the UK citizenship test?

Whitewave, I got the Welsh English one wrong !

Don't feel so bad in that case I really thought it was Henry VII but as that wasn't an option I opted for Edward.

I got 17/20. Missed the cash machine and the Scottish Jury. Can't see that you need to know this stuff to live here, and why would Diwali have anything to do with British citizenship?

Whitewave, I got the Welsh English one wrong! Anniebach

I must admit a couple were calculated guesses (the cash machine and can't remember the other one).
Presumably I am OK for citizenship as long as I don't want to live in Scotland (the jury of 15, I should have known better).

vq this is a joke set of questions, isn't it - it can't be the real deal surely?

I don't think it was Henry 8

the Laws in Wales Acts 1535–1542
Act of Union 1536

That was during the reign of Henry VIII 1509-1547

Llywelyn ap Gruffudd's death in 1282 marked the completion of Edward I of England's conquest of Wales, though Owain Glyndŵr briefly restored independence to Wales in the early 15th century. The whole of Wales was annexed by England and incorporated within the English legal system under the Laws in Wales Acts 1535–1542.

I didn't know that Annie I admit I had to google it.

I had to ask DH!

although I did get the answer right as I had a vague recollection and didn't ask him when I was doing the quiz - I took a calculated guess.

So - someone who takes guesses could be lucky and get citizenship!

I knew most but the question was wrong, Wales did not unite with England , England imposed English law on Wales, that was not uniting

Not playing , going down the garden to eat worms

It's a bit dark and wet to go down the garden
Although worms do like the wet weather

still confused by the county court question

I can't remember how it is worded, did it make it plain it was a civil case (County Court)?
If I try to look I have to go through all the questions then it flips me back to the beginning partway through!

15/20. Maybe there is a book they have to study and the questions come from that. Like taking the Highway Code. I think most younger people would not do well as they didn't study that part of history at school.

And the more of the Highway Code they have to learn to pass the theory test the less they seem to remember when actually driving or parking!

Follow up. Just looked it up and there is an official handbook for life in the UK test. So you would be able to read that if they decide to chuck us out for not getting 20/20 It coasts £50 to take the test plus you have to pass an English language test and there are a number of other criteria you have to meet.

More info. You have to get 75% from 24 questions to pass and if you are under 18 or over 65 you don't have to take the test!

Oh dear, I got 12 out of 20

This is absolutely ridiculous, as most others have said. My husband and I did the quiz, and did not do very well (he is Lebanese by birth, but been a British citizen for many years). I would have liked to see more questions relating to perhaps our currency, our culture, our food, our religion and relevant day to day issues.

Do you have to pack your bags esspee?

Seriously, I don't think some younger people would pass; since history became an option at GCSE level many have not had a history lesson since the age of 13 or 14.

I've not a chance at passing but.......for good or for ill, I'm staying; so there.
