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 20, but regard it as a rather bizarre selection.

[wolf63]

I did the test and got 22/24.
There are some strange questions.

Well done to your husband.

[douglas9401]

I suppose like other tests, one studies.

20 for me but ^^^I have to agree with Canary.

What canary said

21. But I think they got "TV license is required in any household that receives television signals via TV, a digital box, a computer, or a mobile phone" wrong. Surely it's to do with live broadcasts only ?

24 out of 24 for me, which is a bit better than I did when I posted a similar question here!

I scored 21/24. i agree that a couple of the questions are worded very strangely, but I have learnt something by doing this test. That Great Britain and UK are not the same thing. I honestly didnt realise that GB doesn't include NI.

I got 22 (but I did a lot of guessing) but I think the questions change because I didn’t get the one about tv licences.

NB: Every time one clicks on that link a DIFFERENT selection of questions are presented to the user. So, while I scored maximum marks on the two dozen questions that I was presented with, I might possibly have fared far worse with the questions that other people here have been seeing.

Hang on a moment or two while I have another go!

19 out of 24 for me.

I wondered if I had missed a question when I saw OG's answer so went back to check. Apparently the questions change each time .This time I got 23/24. We are all answering a different set of questions.

[Buenchico]

Well, I've had another go.

Just 4 of the questions from my first try turned up in my second attempt, where my score dropped down from 24 to 21.

[Prudie]

I got 20 (and I'd like to know which ones were wrong). Knowing how many Oscars Nick Park got is clearly vitally important to UK life (not).

>>> I have learnt something by doing this test. That Great Britain and UK are not the same thing. I honestly didnt realise that GB doesn't include NI

Really, Maydup? I can only assume that you're not aware of the name of the country that you live in, which is 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland'. It's on the front of your passport!

[woofgang]

well I got 22 but have no idea why you would need to know most of that stuff

[woofgang]

Prudie after you take the test if you scroll down then it tells you which ones you got wrong...I failed the language spoken at court in 1400 (!) and the year women were given the vote.

20

Great Britain is a geographical entity, the United Kingdom is a political one - of the British Isles Great Britain is the largest, hence the "Great"; contrary to common belief it is not a mark of greatness in the other sense.

21 for me.
