Can you pass the UK citizenship test?

Not playing , going down the garden to eat worms

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

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 had to ask DH!

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.

That was during the reign of Henry VIII 1509-1547

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

I don't think it was Henry 8

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

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).

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?

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.

Whitewave, I got the Welsh English one wrong !

95% Henry Vlll and Wales sorry to Welsh grans.

Elegran i like that game. I suggest the next question should be when do we hold the pancake races ?

19/20 - 95%

I didn't know that there are 15 people on a Scottish jury!

I agree most of it it is irrelevant and no indication of a knowledge of our country today and what citizenship entails.

I keep getting 100% Brilliant as well - without doing it.

If only all my exams had been so easy

Totally agree with you, Eloethan. I got 18/20, purely by guessing based on general knowledge. Am not British.

19/20, so I can probably stay here!

75% but guessed some

My French dil took it in Scotland and passed with flying colours. It was v Scotland-oriented and she told them they should be more inclusive with their questions and have more questions about the rest of the UK.

13 for me. I knew the historical ones but not the modern ones

We could make up our own. What questions would you ask? I'd start with JahH's "The UK is a union of which countries?" and follow it with questions about how laws are made and administered in the UK, that is by elected members of Parliament, judges, police (not made by edict of the Queen as absolute monarch, as some people from other countries believe)

should rename it the English Citizenship test
