As part of [14-20 June], locals are being invited to take the - just for fun - in on Monday.
It's the same test foreign visitors have to pass as part of the process to remain in the UK. And the person taking the test has 45 minutes to answer 24 questions with the pass mark at 75%.
You can try a online which has true or false questions like, "In the 1980s, the largest immigrant groups were from the West Indies, Ireland, India and Pakistan.' [Correct answer below]
Coun Aled Roberts, leader of Wrexham Council, will be among those taking the test open to the public between noon-3pm.
He said: "Refugees really do have to do a lot of studying about the British way of life, statistics, laws and culture, before they can even consider sitting the test. This is in addition to many having to learn a new language, both written and spoken!"
Other events being held in Wrexham for Refugee Week include an integrated five a side tournament at and an integrated art project at , aka Wrexham arts centre.
All the events are free, and are being organised by Refugee Diversity Wrexham Forum, supported by One Wrexham, the Welsh Refugee Council and Wrexham Refugee and Asylum Seeker Support Group.
PS. I took the online test in five minutes flat - and failed to make the pass mark. I'm sure I'd have passed had I took the allocated 45 minutes, honest. So, with that said, can I stay?!
[Answer: False. In the 1980s, the largest immigrant groups were from the United States, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand]
