Can You Pass A Life In The Uk Test?

[emilyadders]

Hi all, my husband took his life in the UK test today and passed. He is originally from Guyana, so he needed to pass to apply for his citizenship.

I was born in England and lived here all my life, he asked me to try a practice test online and I'm a bit embarrassed to say that I could only score 15 out of 24, this makes me wonder how many people who were born here could actually pass a Life in the UK test like this one: https://uktest.net/life-in-the-uk-test-practice.html

I got 21/24, but failed on who formed a coalition government in 2010. It was the Tories and Lib Dems. Ten years down the line they are polar opposites politically!

23. I’m happy with that. I got one about film directors wrong. Not sure why you’d need to know about them.
My daughter in law has given up the idea of applying as the questions are so nonsensical.

23 on my second try. But the randomness does mean at times you get 2 questions on the same topic (in my case Bobby Moore in the first attempt, and the Restoration in the second).

It is however quite entertaining to see what some faceless bureaucrat(s) regard as appropriate subjects.

I would bet a bent h'appeny that many UK born school teachers couldn't answer what D-Day 6th June 1944 was about.

I got 20/24. But how can you answer a question about 2104 Olympic winners?

weird. How many Oscars has Nick Park??? If they'd offered four choices instead of two, as with other questions, not many would have passed.

hm, sounds like everyone got different questions. Presumably, applicants should go through the list several times.

Are they questions asked as part of the test or are they based only on the information in the handbook?

I'm not convinced they are questions as asked in the official test. The questions may be random ones from the site but I doubt they are official questions.
