So I Passed my Official British Citizenship Test...

Did you get the tough questions right? BE HONEST

Some belts have zippered compartments to normally hold money or I.D. They're looking for cheat sheets.
The anthem gets played at any number of places. Any of the Royal Family's attendance isn't required.

You take off the belt during exams and then you use it to strangle the people around you so that you can cheat the test...
Otherwise, I have no idea. I've never even considered cheating with a belt.

Oliver Cromwell? fuck him

Congratulations Evan. I am so happy for you and thrilled you are becoming a fellow British Citizen in a year. Really glad you have chosen the UK to live your life. It's a great country, democratic, multi cultural, full of culture and history. You will always be taken care of by the NHS. I really enjoy your video's. I nearly emigrated myself once when I was younger and that would have been the time to do it, like you. However, this is one proud Brit welcoming another!

Some Civil Servants ARE appointed by elected officials. Each minister has a handful of Special Advisers (SPADs) who stay in office only at the discretion of the minister. They are not Established Civil Servants, though, which is the phrase that should have been used. Poor question, which I would have not let through.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! Q: Did that book ' life in the UK' covered all the answers for the real life test? Honestly...

They do change the questions from time to time and the important thing is to learn the "official" answer. (In spite of anything you might know to the contrary). I hope they've removed all of the debatable questions by now and corrected the historical ones that were quite wrong.

Using a belt to cheat: There is such a thing as a money belt that has a zipper and you can hide papers inside :-)

I love how citizenship tests are all bullshit, like most citizens probably don’t inherently know what the national flower of Scotlands. Why would an aspiring citizen need to know that?

Oh did I say “love?” I meant “despise.”

Now the practical test.

You need to make a pot of tea for 4 people using loose leaf tea NOT bags and serve it correctly one person takes lemon not milk.

Thanks so much for making videos on the immigration process! Having been through this myself, I totally related to everything you were saying and laughed so much! xD More people need to be talking about what we have to go through in order to settle here.

It almost sounds like my theory test when learning to drive.
Sit at a computer you get a piece of paper saying if you passed or not. It has signs allover the place saying the staff could not disguss the test result. When I was leaving I passed BTW. There was a man asking why he failed.

A FELLOW RAVENCLAW. WE STAN

God Save The Queen is sang before every football game, i can assure you the Queen is not in attendance

I need to start studying

I wouldn't have known the answer to the Boer War question if it wasn't for a poem in GCSE english about the Boer War. So even Brits don't know the answers so some of those.

Have the same experience every time I go to take a test for education certification. We have our glasses checked, ID checked multiple times within five feet, finger prints, palm prints, collar checked, waistband, ankles, behind ears, lift up long here. It was easier to get through the airport in Instanbul, Turkey not speaking the language, (and less stressful) than to take a certification test in the US for education.

It's much the same process here in the US when I had to go for standardized tests for teaching certification. They're very paranoid.

i want to move to the uk because my girlfriend lives in the uk and we have been together for a year and want to spend the rest of our lives together.


im beyond broke and im living with my parents and brother and i get treated like shit yelled at and hit my love has seen it. i want my to marry my girlfriend and she wants to marry me i know that because she asked me to marry her.

Congratulations Evan, never doubted you could do it and I’m so pleased you chose us. Here’s a small gift >>>>>> 🧻<<<<<<<it’s nothing really! 🙋🏽👍🏽💛 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 ....oh & I would have struggled with the civil Service & national anthem question but I would have got the Boar war correct but I’m sure as a consequence of study, you know a whole lot more than most citizens do about the UK. Sorry I’m so late with this comment, I was doing a retrospective 🧐

The Easter question just proves that the UK is a theocracy and not a democracy.

I'm from India, I am not allowed to wear slippers in my exam hall

Hey! From one American to another (but in true British form): Well done, Evan! (aka 'Good Job!')
I took my Life in the UK test in Wolverhampton back in 2010 when I went from my spousal visa to my ILR. They were very serious checking me over before I took mine as well and I remember thinking, "you could at least smile!"

Anyway, fingers crossed I get my citizenship this year. Hope you're registered to vote in the US as well. We need all the help we can get!

Does the UK make new citizens renounce former citizenships with other countries?
Did you have to renounce your US citizenship?

You can do a video on this test with your british friends and they don't know the answers.lol.try it

They will let any idiot in

Do they not have Easter in America?

Do you have to give up your Us-American citizenship ?

I don't like labels but I would say that I think you would one day reveal that you may have more feelings for a man than a woman. Gay and proud! Love your channel

There's an exam to become a british citizen okay the world is confusing

You should get round glasses. They would fit your face shape better.

Just be glad the security didn't reach the rubber gloves stage.

am I the only one who heard him say he is going to make a family with his stuffed toys

Also, you've misinterpreted the civil service question. You vote for representatives, but civil servants are units of the bureaucracy -- the civil service --. They are selected through examination: in Spain, where they're referred to as functionaries, different categories and levels of functionaries take qualifying "oposiciones" (oppositions), whereby their knowledge of a certain civil service category and level is tested. Civil servants are NOT selected by the government, but they're also very much not elected. Admin law 101.

Yeah, the question on the national anthem is very syntactically ambiguous. It can mean, at least: (1) at official events [which is vague], is the national anthem only sung when the queen is present? (2) Is the national anthem only sung at official events at which the queen is present?


I see these kinds of ambiguities in all of my law exams. This is why I love math.

my brother says you have an exact resemblance to andy samberg

now you need to get a british accent

One time 10 year old me sang the national anthem at a funeral reception because I was so American

Are you trying for dual citizenship?,I’m thinking about doing this me ma was a war souvenir , she didn’t become a US citizen until after I was born ,so I’ve been thinking of trying this ,but figuring it out from the UK government websites is about as clear as understanding the information from the IRS here

Bravo! Well done 🍾🥂🤸

Congratulations !!! :)

I like your glasses Tommy Hilfiger glasses

Basically your knowledge is now far better than most English people.

DO I SAY A RAVENCLAW SWEATER

Pearson exams in the US are similar in scrutiny

I was born in Jamaica and I have indefinite leave to remain and I really cba to do the test or pay the money to get naturalised, it's so extortionate! We had to do it for my sister and it was ridiculously expensive

Passed the test, now to pay £1,300 to get naturalised and £80 for a useless swearing in ceremomy🥴
