Test your knowledge of the UK in the citizenship test that many struggle with

Those wishing to settle in the UK must pass a complex exam known as the “Life in the UK Test”. The test covers a range of topics, including questions about territories and former prime ministers, as well as questions about significant historical and political events.

To become a British citizen or settle in the UK, passing the “Life in the UK” test is one of the requirements. Other criteria include spending a certain amount of time in the country, passing an English language test and having no criminal convictions.

Meghan Markle has revealed that both she and her husband Prince Harry found the exam questions difficult. Meghan described the test as “so hard” that not even Harry could help her study.

Experts advise that with practice and preparation, the test is not too difficult. However, many Britons who took the test without any preparation found it difficult, some failing spectacularly.
