UK Government said:

You need to take the test as part of your application for British citizenship or settlement in the UK."

Well I guess I've lived here long enough that I should be able to breeze through....

If I hadn't carried a British passport since 1964 I'd be on my way to Rwanda by now 😲

I got 17, but should have been credited with a couple more. I did the test on a small tablet and fat-fingered two correct answers.

I know the important stuff. Prince William wears an Omega that was a gift from his mother. What do I win? 😁

You win a set of DVDs of Harry and Meghan's Netflix specials, plus a bonus DVD of Oprah's interview with them. Enjoy!

In addition to the prizes identified by evitzee, you win the complete “Suits” series. And you can use it as a training aid.

Ouch, only got 15. And I actually have a British passport in addition to my US one! (dual citizen from my mother's side.)

I got 19. But in fairness, I studied British history in graduate school ... in the UK.

Warm beer and poms 🤔

Well, I have taken the exam and escaped with only a flesh wound! But I was hoping to answer a question with, "Who are the knights who say Ekke Ekke Ekke Ekke Ptang Zoo Boing."

I admire the UK and its history. Especially like Yorkshire. The folks there are friendly and hospitable like Texans who live outside the big cities here.

I got 19 of the 24 questions without trying. Then again I am spending the weekends in "London" at the Great Dickens Fair outside San Francisco. Leading tours and feeding people a light fluffy version of British History.

Nicer that I live in the 21st century and can visit fantasy 19th century on the weekends for a few hours, and still have indoor plumbing and not need bed curtains. Or have to deal with bad food.

I do however suspect there were Christians in the 2nd century AD. And if one believes the Joseph of Arememathea legends they would have to have been there in the first century. After all tin traders took Christ to southern England after the flight to Egypt. 😉 right?
