DO YOU THINK YOU COULD PASS THE TEST? HAVE A GO FOR YOURSELF JOHN SHAMMAS Executive editor 07:25, 24 May 2025 Immigration is a hot topic these days. Keir Starmer has even gone so far as to
warn we face becoming an "island of strangers". It's a comment that many found repulsive, and many would have nodded along in agreement to. And now there are all sorts of
promises from the Labour government to tighten up immigration rules and raise the bar for what hoops people must jump through to live and work in the United Kingdom. One requirement of that
process has been taking the 'Life in the UK' test, which can put you on the pathway to become a British citizen. _JOIN THE MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS __WHATSAPP__ GROUP _HERE To take
the test, you have to have been living in the UK for a certain period of time, not have any criminal convictions and pass an English language test. Article continues below The test consists
of questions on a mixture of subjects, including culture, history and customs and you get 45 minutes to take it. While some questions are pretty straightforward, others would require a bit
of background knowledge and research. You can take the test as many times as it takes to pass, but each attempt costs £50. Generally the pass rate has hovered around the 80 per cent mark. To
pass, you must correctly answer 18 questions, or 75 percent and the results are given immediately at the end of the test. _DO YOU THINK YOU COULD PASS THE TEST? HAVE A GO FOR YOURSELF
