Could you pass the Life In The UK Test?

Recent figures suggest the Citizenship Test is getting more difficult to pass.

We took a look at the last release of Life in the UK test data that was released by the government.  The interactive map below shows the number of Citizenship Tests taken around the country and the corresponding pass rates.  On average, between 2010 - 2013 there were an average of 12,060 tests taken across the country each month with 77% people passing (23% fail).

More recent data obtained by the Manchester Evening News suggests that the test could be getting harder as 125,925 tests were taken in 2016, with 36% of people failing.  This compares to to an average of around 22% of people failing between 2010 - 2013 - but as you can see from the chart below, the pass rates have been variable over the years.
