Test your British citizenship knowledge - see how much you know about 'Life In The UK'

What does being British mean to you?

Well according to the Home Office , the details are available for £13.99; all aspiring Brits should study the 180 pages of the official handbook, memorising the birthdays of patron saints and the author of the Canterbury Tales.

Since reforms by the coalition government in 2012, the 'Life in the United Kingdom Test' has been a requirement for 'Indefinite Leave to Remain' or 'Naturalisation' status. 

With £50 being paid for an attempt, and well over two million tests being sat, since its launch in 2005, there have been many criticisms despite a modest 75% pass rate. 

It's reported that one person took the test 64 times.

Speaking at the 2018 Tory Conference, then as Home Secretary, Sajid Javid claimed it was too much like a 'pub quiz'. 

He then proposed reforms to emphasise language skills and British values. 

But serious commentators, like commentator Mehdi Hassan and academic Thom Brooks, have challenged the lack of public consultation and the idea that memorising answers can make you a good citizen.
