I got 9 out of 10 but a lot were guesses - no idea which one I got wrong. My history is awful as I took geography instead at school.

Got 9 out of 10. The only wrong answer was the age for jury service - but I wouldn't know that, being exempt...

Thats the only one I didn't know either, I just took an educated guess at it.

You scored 7 out of a possible 10

Now, this is tricky. The full 24-question test considers a 75% success rate a pass, but on this 10-question test you've come in at 70%. We're the Guardian, not the Home Office, and this result essentially means nothing so we'll give you the benefit of the doubt here. Maybe one or two more questions would have pushed you closer to Britannia.

The ones I got wrong were probably the ones I didn't know and guessed.

8/10. I forgot the number of years for the Queen's jubilee, probably because I don't care much about the Royal Family. I got no. 10 wrong too.

Congratulations – you are safely over the 75% hurdle. You have passed the Britishness test

...

I stupidly forgot that the Paralympic Games (and thus the Olympic Games) were held in London in 2012.

Nice going, Murihiku. :oops:

"You got…
6/10

You've fallen below what the Home Office would consider a sufficient standard of general knowledge to qualify as British. Perhaps you should try again (or if you are a wealthy French film star I hear Russia is always worth a go)"
