Brits challenged to pass ‘impossible’ citizenship test – so would be able to get full marks?

BRITS are being challenged to try and pass this tricky citizenship test, and you need to score at least 75 per cent.

Anyone who wants to become a British citizen needs to take the test, but it's been described as 'impossible' by those who have lived in the UK their whole life.

The exam is called the Life In The UK Test, and if you were sitting the exam in real life you’d have 45 minutes to answer 24 questions about British customs, traditions, history and famous faces.
