Can you pass as a British Citizen?

[amirm]

Meghan Markle may be marrying into the British royal family but if she wants to be a Brit, the Queen’s future granddaughter-in-law still has to pass the same citizenship test as anyone else.

The American actress will need to correctly answer at least 18 out of 24 questions on a range of topics about life in the United Kingdom.

Could you pass? Test your knowledge with a selection of the questions to see how you’d fare.

I took the test and got 17 out of 24 right. I failed by just one answer! Darn. I guess I have to stick with my American citizenship.

I squeaked in with 18/24.

I have a fallback, though, probably eligible for an Irish passport, via paternal grandfather...

I have a cousin who got one and lives in Italy.

I only got 11 but I bet you used google.

Damn. 17/24 as well.

I did not. I would have passed it if I had.

A large proportion of UK-born citizens would definitely not pass this test!

23/24 Diamond or platinum?

Thomas, no cheating.

What happened to the 'how often do the English bathe' and 'how long is a cricket pitch' questions I heard in school? Blame the Oirish in me.

I got 23, I thought the poems were novels

 

[Wombat]

Maybe Wallace Simpson failed the test.

 

[blackmetalboon]

21/24. Wasn’t really interested in the Queens Jubilee, no idea about the Nobel Prize for literature and I prefer cats to dogs.

I could guarantee that every English person in my department at work would fail this.

UKIP is watching.

 

[Frank Dernie]

Maybe Wallace Simpson failed the test.

She failed a lot of tests!

23/24, some of the questions and answers were weird, I have no idea which one I got wrong.

The stats. are on your side.

When I did it the answer text was green when correct but red when I got Beowulf wrong.

 

[Blumlein 88]

17 of 24 here.

 

[Dialectic]

23/24. I lived in the UK for almost two years, but I found that common sense was a more helpful guide than anything I learned while I was there. The questions are easier than those asked on the U.S. citizenship test.

 

[dallasjustice]

Only 17 for me. I would have done better if there were some questions about Nigel Farage.

 

[Thomas savage]

The few i got wrong I’d suggest the answers themselves were faulty lol

The work-shy con man who lied about immigration, screwed his country then resigned? Not sure anybody with much education has any time for him here.
