The new "Britishness test" for foreigners who apply to become UK citizens is being launched by ministers today.
Immigration Minister Tony McNulty is unveiling sample questions from the test, which becomes compulsory from tomorrow.
The curriculum was set out following recommendations by a Home Office panel chaired by Professor Sir Bernard Crick.
It includes British history and customs as well as practical information on living in Britain.
Foreigners who wish to become British citizens will have to sit the test at one of 90 exam centres across the country.
Mr McNulty said: "The measures will help new citizens to gain a greater appreciation of the civic and political dimension of British citizenship."
The new initiative is formally called the Life in the UK test.
It comes after the Government introduced new requirements for applicants to pass exams in English language.
