Can you Pass the UK citizenship test?

Rejected! 18 out of 24 - but then, I'm from the U.S. Sorry! (How many do you need to pass?)
 
Only 21. Still a pass. I had a brainfart on St. David, and just plain didn't know about Magistrates. But, then, I've never had cause to.

The political party question was, I thought, poorly worded. "The main political parties actively look for members" implied to me that they were asking whether they went round neighbourhoods knocking on doors asking people whether they'd please consider being an MP. But perhaps that's just me being stupid and/or not paying enough attention as I was doing the test.
 
23.
So I didn't know who Richard Arkwright was, big deal.



I'm as UKian as my Irish heritage and French surname and...... ok I'll just shut up now.
 
24/24 without any guessing... but... I think it was kind of a lame test.

I would have more civics & values, or history questions that were about magna carta or the bill of rights rather than what was in the quiz.
 
18, I clicked too fast on the voting age, but that would have just gotten me 19 and a fail anyway.
 
I got 21/24 but only because my finger stuttered on the mouse and I mis-hit the answer for St. David. It did surprise me that the questions were not about the government and governance. The US citizenship quizzes I've done are.
 
20. It doesn't work all that great on mobile. Some of the multi answer questions didn't let me answer twice and in some cases gave away the second answer.

I think I did better than the Canadian version of the same thing
 
21/24. It didn't ask anything about Prince William rushing through the train station, which was the only question I was prepared for.

I'd have the test be more about the things that the average Brit has as part of their everyday lives. The test is supposed to test whether you have sufficient knowledge of life in Britain. So it should really be testing things that are part of life in Britain. While I'm not questioning the importance of the documents you reference, I do question how much they impinge on the consciousness of people going about their everyday lives.

I also question what, exactly, you mean by "values", and how you'd test for that.
 
The values question was pretty stoopit. "BRITISH VALUES AND PRINCIPLES ARE BASED ON HISTORY AND TRADITIONS." Well, duh. Got that answer right. 21/24 overall, and as a German I deliberately denied the stuff about the German King to make me appear more adoptable. ;)
