Well I got 3 wrong in the British citizenship test and I’ve lived here all my life (that’s 87%). I wonder if that’s a pass? Some of them were really tough! My son is considering taking the Danish citizenship test. He’s married a Danish girl and they have a son. He says the test is really hard.

Hope Blake makes a full recovery x

I think you need 75% correct to pass. Did you do more than one of the tests? I think there are 15 that you can take for free... I think I passed the majority of the tests. Where I failed is usually where I'm lacking in knowledge in areas of... let's call it bureaucracy and sometimes cultural things like tv shows from the '60s or soaps that I have never watched. Like, I would not be able to name a single character from Eastenders! 😂

Well me neither Carina and I’ve been here 63 years! My specialist subject might be sweets and Chocolates of the 60s and 70s. I did 3 of the tests. I think I scraped a pass in all. Good luck with it

What do you think the main differences are between Denmark and uk? I think Jante’s law is very Scottish. Not so much English. I love the food and way of life there. I’m not so keen on the black/grey or beige clothes. I really like colour as do you I suspect

So, I got 4 wrong (83.3%) and I’m a US citizen living in the Mid-Atlantic. A couple were difficult and another couple I figured out by the process of elimination. I suspect I have just picked it up over the years. Plus, I’m a huge reader of historical fiction in various mass market genres such as romance and mystery that are set in various parts of the UK.

P.S. Wishing Blake a speedy recovery! And you a good night’s sleep!

I think I passed the majority of the test. I am also an avid reader of historical fiction, and fact. Where I seem to be lacking in knowledge is in areas of... let's call it bureaucracy and sometimes cultural things like tv shows from the '60s or something! 😂

Thank you, Blake is already improving a bit but very annoyed that he has to wear the cone all the time. 😭😁
