in this video I'm going to be going through the top 10 hardest questions in the life in the UK test I'll be going through a sample question and then summarizing the key information you need to know for this topic so question one how many members does the Northern Island assembly have a 90 B8 C 128 or D 138 the correct answer is 90 so this question is about the devolved administrations here's what you need to know you need to know the location of the devolved administrations for Wales it's in Car
diff for Scotland it's in Edinburgh and for Northern Ireland it's in Belfast you need to know the number of members for each devolved Administration for Wales it's 60 for Scotland it's 129 and for Northern Ireland it's 90 you need to know that in Wales they have elections every four years and you need to know the common things they can pass laws on and more importantly things they can't pass laws on like defense question two when were men and women given the right to vote at the age of 21 a 1918
B 1928 C 1903 D 1923 the correct answer is 1928 this question is about voting ages the reason I Think It's Tricky is that there's three different dates you need to know about the first date is 1918 where for the first time women over 30 are allowed to vote while at the same time men over 21 can vote in 1928 men and women over 21 can vote and this establishes a fully Democratic voting system where both men men and women can vote at the same age and then in 1969 men and women over 18 can vote for
question three the restoration refers to the reestablishment of Catholicism as the official Church in the 15th century true or false the correct answer is false the reason I think this question is confusing is because you need to know the difference between reformation and restoration two terms that sound very similar the Reformation is a movement against the authority of the Pope and the ideas and practices of the Roman Catholic Church whereas the restoration is the reestablishment of the mona
rchy in 1660 when Charles II returned from Exile after being invited back by Parliament question four which of the following is an example of a criminal offense a smoking a public places where it is not allowed B disputes about faulty goods or services C disputes about an unfair dismissal in the workplace or D disputes between landlords and tenants the correct answer is smoking in public places where it is not allowed this question is in the topic criminal and civil law I think this is hard beca
use we need to know the difference between what criminal law is and what civil law is crimin law is investigated by police and punished by courts well civil law settles disputes between individuals or groups I've put here examples of criminal law and examples of civil law and feel free to pause the video to have a read the reason I think this is confusing is because I wouldn't think smoking in public places is a criminal offense but hey ho I didn't invent the law question five which court deals
with minor criminal cases in England Wales and Northern Ireland is it a the high court B Justice of the Peace Court C magistrates court or D Crown Court the correct answer is C magistrates Court let's also move on to another hard court related question question six how many members former jury in Scotland is it a 12 b 14 C B 15 or D 20 the correct answer is 15 now in my humble opinion the courts topic is by far the hardest there is just so much information you need to know about the courts that
your average British person on the street would just not be able to answer let's first look at Criminal Courts for minor criminal offenses in England Wales and Northern Ireland the Magistrate Court deals with them and in Scotland it's the Justice of the peace Courts for serious criminal offenses in England Wales and Northern Ireland it's the Crown Court where there's a jury of 12 people who decide guilty or not guilty and in Scotland you have the sheriff court with a jury of 15 people and the hi
gh court with a judge and jury of 15 people for civil courts minor offenses in England Wales and Northern Ireland are dealt within the county court whereas in Scotland they're dealt within the sheriff court for serious civil cases in England Wales and Northern Ireland they're heard in the high court where in Scotland they're heard in the court Obsession in Edinburgh I mean this is just painful having to learn this but unfortunately there are many questions on it so I do recommend you spend the t
ime memorizing it question seven what is the minimum age required to drive a motorcycle is it a 16 b 17 C8 or D 21 the correct answer is b 17 this question is all about legal minimum ages and I think it's hard because there are three categories of different ages for 16-year-olds they can drive a moped and they can also drink alcohol with a meal when accompanied by someone who is over 18 17-year-olds can drive a car or motorcycle and 18-year-olds can buy alcohol bet in shops go to nightclubs vote
stand for public office take part in jury service and take part in the National Lottery question eight what is the Turner prize is it a a literature award b a music award C A Contemporary Art Award or D A Theater award the correct answer is c a Contemporary Art Award this question is all about prizes and awards I Think It's tricky because there are a whole bunch of different Awards and prizes in different categories you need to know about for the music category there's the Mercury prize and the
Brit awards for theater there's the Lawrence Oliver awards for film there's British Academy film Awards otherwise known as baa for art there's the Turner prize and for literature There's the Man Booker prize again this kind of question just frustrates me like who on the street would know all these different prizes question n which two of the following are 20th century British inventions a mobile phone B radar C the worldwide web D the light bulb the correct two answers are radar and worldwide w
eb I think this question is hard because you need to know about all the 20th century British inventions I've summarized them all here in this table for you now you do need to know what the invention is and who invented them now there's quite a lot here so if you remember just five I recommend these ones radar the touring machine and by the way if you haven't seen the movie Imitation games I highly recommend you watch it cuz it's a fantastic movie and you will not forget about Allen touring and t
he touring machine the jet engine the cord and the worldwide web question 10 which of the following is a crown dependency a northern Island B St Helena C the Channel Islands or D Wales the correct answer is the Channel Islands I think this question is tricky because it can be confusing between what a crown dependency is and what a British overseas territory is the two Crown dependencies you need to know about are the Channel Islands and the aisle of man and not that you need to know the geograph
ical location but I find it helpful to see them on a map in order to remember them down here we have the Channel Islands which are islands in the English Channel between the UK and France and over here we have the aisle of man British overseas territories are St Helena and the folkland islands again looking at a map just to help you remember St hel is off the coast of Africa and the folkland islands are off the coast of Argentina you don't need to know what the technical differences between a cr
own dependency or British overseas territory you just need to know which ones are which now just two comments before we finish the video the first is that you would be incredibly unlucky to get all of these questions in your test the test tends to be a mix of very easy questions medium questions and harder questions so please don't freak out if you don't know the answers to all of these the second thing I want to say is that I have actually picked realistic hard questions I've seen a lot of vide
os and online quizzes that just ask ridiculously hard questions that you would never get asked like the date of the Potato Famine in irand you're just not going to be asked that I hope you enjoyed the video I'm on a mission to help you better prepare for the life in the UK test I've made an easy to follow an enjoyable video course where I've completely stripped down the m material to focus on what you actually need to know for the questions that are actually asked to show your support please sub
