The Life in the UK test may look like your average quiz but it is intended to show people have ‘sufficient knowledge' of British life to gain citizenship 🇬🇧 But applicants have described the questions asked as ‘irrelevant’ and ‘outdated’ 👇
Almost 200,000 immigrants took the test in 2022 as part of their applications for citizenship or settlement.figures obtained by Metro.co.uk, more than a third of them failed to reach the minimum score of 75%.
After completing the test a year ago, he told us that most of the questions do not prove the level of integration into everyday British life.‘I am all for testing people who want to live in the UK,’ he stressed. The test itself costs £50, and cannot to be done in-person, forcing all applicants to also pay for transportation to one of the 30 centres in the country.Like most people preparing for it, Hassan splashed out £7.99 for the government’s official book with example questions, and £10.99 for the app.
It appears the test is so difficult that even Prince Harry, who is fifth in the line of Succession, struggle when helping his wifeand studied at Eton College, it is hard to imagine he did not ace all the answers. Only a third managed to pass and all struggled with questions, like ‘Who appoints life peers?’, ‘When did the first Christian communities appear in Britain?’ and ‘Who created the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland?’
‘A lot of it was a little bit ancient and pointless in terms of some of the historical references,’ the 34-year-old said.
