How hard is it to become British
« on: August 31, 2019, 02:32:29 PM »
for fun DH and I did the sample entrance test yesterday.  We both qualify for approval.  Just  ;D

It was an eye opener.  I was watching people colouring in the Union Flag yesterday well I see it daily - but would have no idea where to start other than with red, white, blue  ::)

My eldest sons partner is in the middle of the process at the moment.  She has done the quiz and past first time.

Still a lot of money and a pile of paper work to go though.  So all I can say is that you really must want to be British to do it.

My friend is from Tanzania and did her citizenship test a few years ago.  Several of us helped her.

Yep.  I did it twice and past.  Much to the annoyance of my son who insisted I wouldn't.

No i haven't tried it. I did see the applicants trying to colour the Union Jack. I wouldn't get that right from memory.

We found it fun.  Wonder if I would pass every time though!?!

Wow, that test is way harder than the one we did for Canada which was 20 ridiculously easy multiple choice questions. It took about 10 minutes to get 100% for the Canadian one. I tried 3 of the British ones and passed 2.
