I got 21 and I’m from Denmark. Most of them were not too hard. Some, like British History were a bit harder, but not impossible. The amount of NI parliament members though, that one was a complete shot in the dark.

That NI question keeps on being mentioned for some reason

Because I don’t think anyone in the Northern Ireland assembly could answer that question. I can tell you how many constituencies there are in England only that there’s a lot. Some things aren’t worth knowing.

I got 21 of 24. The NI Assembly question threw me for an absolute loop.

Yeah I got 71% too, which is a fail so I guess I am no longer British. Born and raised here btw! What a stupid, racist test.

83% as a Canadian. Such a weird mix of questions. Maybe 4-5 that actually dealt with civics and governance.

I’m British born and bred and I got 88%. Some of those questions are interesting and definitely better questions than asking the height of the London Eye.
Maybe the UK citizenship test should try to select people who support important British principles (rule of law, democracy, religious freedom, legal equality of men and women, etc). But I suppose somebody could pretend to support those things for the purposes of passing a test, and after the test they might decide they don’t believe in democracy after all. Also I’m sure there are born and bred Brits who don’t believe in democracy.

When it comes to plastic patriots identifying that it’s the british-born nationals that are more likely to be the problem the ones that want to immigrate tend to be okay.
Besides I don’t think it’s possible for anyone to be a bigger prick than Tommy 10 names.

20/24 (83%), native Briton.
Some of those questions are stupid though, on terms of day to day knowledge on Britain.
If it was actually going to be useful, it would include things about:

How long do you wait before beeping the horn if you’re behind a car at the traffic lights and they turn green is another potential one

I beeped a guy when on holiday in USA once, after a truck didn’t set off for a few seconds. The guy stuck a middle finger out of his window and floored it with a great wheel spin.
Not sure if I broke the rule by beeping too early, or the American rule is that you always flip off the guy behind you.

If it’s a mini you might as well be ready to lean on the horn as soon as the other direction turns amber. They never seem to be paying attention
