Immigration is a hot topic these days. Keir Starmer has even gone so far as to warn we face becoming an “island of strangers”.

One requirement of that process has been taking the ‘Life in the UK’ test, which can put you on the pathway to become a British citizen.

To take the test, you have to have been living in the UK for a certain period of time, not have any criminal convictions and pass an English language test.

The test consists of questions on a mixture of subjects, including culture, history and customs and you get 45 minutes to take it. While some questions are pretty straightforward, others would require a bit of background knowledge and research.

You can take the test as many times as it takes to pass, but each attempt costs £50. Generally the pass rate has hovered around the 80 per cent mark.

To pass, you must correctly answer 18 questions, or 75 percent and the results are given immediately at the end of the test.

Do you think you could pass the test? Have a go for yourself below…
