Those looking to attain British citizenship have to swot up on UK history as part of the hurdles they have to clear before being handed their passport.
Wannabe-Brits have to pass the Life in the UK test as part of their application process.
It costs £50 to sit the multiple choice exam, which is meant to test whether those who have moved to the country and want a post-Brexit blue passport have a working understanding of British customs.
But the topics go well beyond customs, delving into history, geography and sport.
There are official study guides available to prepare, with those sitting the test need 75% or more to pass.
The really tough question is though, could most Brits pass the test? Here is your chance to find out.
