Did one of the practise tests on the site you linked instead and got 15/24, I did accidentally click the wrong answer for one of the questions however. I did also know another but chose the answer I preferred just as it wasn't a serious test

The Independent (I think) ran a story about this a long time ago, claiming that most Britons would actually fail this rather poorly named test (what does knowing the date of the invention of the first engine have to do with life in the UK?). Given that it's a multiple-choice test in which most of the answers are obvious to a reasonably knowledgeable person, I don't think that it's any more challenging than the theory test that prospective drivers are expected to pass.
