What ho, chaps.

You need more than 10 out of 15 correct to pass. I got 6.
Can anyone top that, I'm guessing you can ?

Tombi!

Got six myself.

Well luckily I don't have a British passport so I don't need to hand it over.

If I pass will they hand me a free one and 50 pounds?

golden lane

i've been in the uk 51 years....i failed.....but i am not a british citizen.....

Orim

Kind of embarrassed that I got the one question about Ireland wrong

Tombi!

El_Dangeroso

I thought it was 1740s so I was kinda of right, just the wrong century :pac:

Although I just looked it up and there was a famine in the 1740s so I was technically right.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

Catari Jaguar

I got 9. First question wrong. Facepalm.

quickbeam

Sunnyisland

I got seven,

Commiserations - you failed the sample British history test (you needed more than 10 to pass). If this was the real citizenship test you would need to wait a week and pay £50 to take the test again, and hand over your British passport.

Thought I would have known more ;-(

LizT

Eve_Dublin

ihsb

I've just proved your point

Collie D

I got 12, not sure whether to be happy or not. Reading the article and noted that Theresa May reckons new citizens or immigrants need to put "less emphasis on human rights". Tory filth!

El Weirdo

I also got 10.

Ah yes, you do indeed. Original post corrected.

Mint Sauce

3, am glad I don't know much about them.

Blisterman

I can't imagine a set of questions less relevant to helping people live in the UK.

"Which king defeated the Vikings at the end of the 9th Century?"

zenno

Only 4 right ffs lol i thought i would do better than that.

Sarn

Nine and one of those was a guess. I'll stick to being Irish.

biko

You scored 10 out of a possible 15

senorwipesalot

Tally ho chaps.

flutterflye

Oh god!
I got a measly 5!
History was never my strong suit though.

zenno

What was the name of the first person in London that was burned at the stake on 13th july 1625 ? some of those questions are not worth knowing as what use are they in todays terms.

Yeah - I actually knew that one.
I didn't remember from school though - I did some module in college that included stuff about the famine.

johngalway

Got 8, am delighted to have failed

Lollers

Don't be too hard on yourselves peoples. Apprently the BBC journalist Jonathan Dimbleby took the test and failed.

zenno

Will do a random psychic test now and see how many i get right.

My name is URL

I got 12 right but most of those were compete guesses. Meh.. they seem like rather irrelevant questions, I don't see why having a good knowledge of such things would give someone more of a right to call themselves British. Surely instead of historical questions there should be ones that are actually relevant to how society functions today.

Collie D

True test.

Do you want to see Andy Murray beat Federer today?

a) Yes, because he's British

b) No, because he's British

c) No, because he's the most unlikeable miserable git ever to play on Centre Court

Jonah42

10. I'd be interested to see an Irish version of this.

Ideo

I got 11, go me! There were a few guesses in there tho

I only got 13, but I was born, brought up and educated there (and was taught history by an Irish priest :pac:) :P.

If they applied the test to everyone in the UK, and threw out everyone failing it, the population would then be less than it is here.

zenno

I done better by just guessing...
You scored 8 out of a possible 15
Commiserations - you failed the sample British history test.

next time you get a test just guess and you will do better. :pac:

Fupping Grasshole

I got 9, f*uck that, that's a fix anyway, I should've got at least 13 :mad: Where's the answers :mad::mad:

jimmycrackcorm

I cant imagine many British actually passing this test.

ciarang85

got 10! time to claim my passport!

Actually wait fúck that!:pac:

Keith186

I got 4 correct & got the famine one right at least.

What kinda engineers did they have in the middle ages? Definitely thought they were the answer to that one. Trebuchet engineers probably to design the latest hi-tech weaponry

If this was the real citizenship test you would need to wait a week and pay £50 to take the test again, and hand over your British passport

NCT for foreigners! suckers...

EuropeanSon

Got 11, and I'd have thought I had a pretty extensive knowledge of British History. Pointless test IMO.
