Can you pass the UK citizenship test?

80% for me!

But half these questions are nonsense. It is important that a new citizen knows that the Magna Carta exited and its implications for living in Britain, but who cares which king was around at the time? These questions mostly demand a knowledge of history - surely citizenship tests should concentrate on the fundamentals of living in Britain? - what is important today.

Blimey - 80%. Shows how good I am at guessing!

Well I am surprised I got 70% does that give me a pass or not.

15/20 - lucky guesses for a few!

If you click on the picture at the top left of the page it will start the quiz.
I only got 12 shock but as vp says you need to be a history buff.

Same here......got 20/20 just for clicking on the link!

Be nice to know if we qualify though Ana wink

We don't have to pass it though, do we?

If we wanted to go and settle in another country, perhaps we'd be required to know similar facts about it before being accepted as a permanent resident.

Yes the same thing happened to me as well.

tanith Fri 09-Dec-16 21:14:22

Well I just tried the link but every time I answer the first question it tells me I've passed with 100% don't know how that happens

I only managed 14/20 and only then because I have more than a passing interest in history blush

Does this mean I have to go and live in another country? Will I lose my citizenship? Hang on we live in a monarchy. Does that mean I'll stop being a subject?
