Wanna try the UK Citizenship test?

[Thzumbiewitch]

See how well you do!

I am a Disgrace - I only got 12/24 - good job I've already left the country!

Oh, and when you've done it, click on Show Answers to see what you should have said :)

[MotherPanda]

I only got 10/24! But I drink tea and speak like the Queen!

MotherPanda - You have failed, the pass mark was 75% According to the Life in the UK Test, you have insufficient knowledge of the English language or of life in the UK to remain.

I've only been abroad once in my life, for a school trip to Paris. Where will I go?

[lubeybooby]

11/24 oh dear

[Thzumbiewitch]

I know, shocking isn't it?

[DooinMeCleanin]

I am also a disgrace with 12/24. They should kick me out, really. I won't protest, somewhere nice and warm will do nicely, Australia would be perfect [lives in hope]

I loved the halloween question. I personally go for the hiding option, although round here calling the police would probably be appropriate too

[BadgersPaws]

15/24, I failed... I'll pack my bags now shall I?

[AMumInScotland]

17/24 - better than I thought it might be, since a lot were guesses, but still a fail.

What on earth does knowing the answers to those questions have to do with having the knowledge you need to live in Britain? If I wanted to know how many parliamentary constituencies there are, or exactly when divorce was legalised, I'd Google it!

[Thzumbiewitch]

It's not warm in my bit of australia at the moment, Dooin - I'm sitting here with a blanket over me! But it is night time, and it was quite pleasant today while the sun was around :)

[Bucharest]

15.

Not bad until you remember I am someone who used to work in the office that sets the thing.

[tabulahrasa]

18, I passed, so I get to stay, lol

but, the ones I got wrong were mostly ones I thought I knew and some of the ones I got right were lucky guesses

[WhereTheWildThingsWere]

10/24 nearly all answers were guesses.

I'll get me coat.

[Whitershadeofpale]

I failed too 15/24

[lovemysleep]

Hilarious! I failed with 11 out of 24.......shame on me .

I bet at least 70% of the population would fail it, and what a stupidly bureaucratic waste of time and money...

[MotherPanda]

really, we don't know these things - you certainly aren't taught them in school. Why are these the things that allow you to be a UK citizen?

Apart from the halloween one - that's important, although a tad American.

[FlyingPirates]

I got 21 But I recently had to do it for my indefinate leave to remain, so I guess that is cheating somewhat!

[Georgimama]

13/24. Some of those questions are absurd. Trick or treating is a vile American tradition for one thing.

[FeelMyWraith]

19/24

Though I'm inclined to argue that there are many ways one might stop a child from playing tricks on you at Halloween. Calling the police might stop them. So I take issue with the question.

And why the frickety frick does half of that stuff matter? It's not particularly useful now is it?

[FeelMyWraith]

Halloween's Scottish isn't it? Or did I dream that?

[Hulababy]

I failed too = 13/24

I do know someone who has sat this test and passed. There is a book that has all the information in and lots of practise questions. Loads to learn though.

[TheBride]

17, but I guessed most of them. I have failed but dont live in the Uk anyway, so they can't deport me- Ha!

[Shanghaidiva]

13 for me. Luckily I left the UK 17 years ago.

[Georgimama]

You don't trick or treat in Scotland. You go guising.

[Thzumbiewitch]

The Hallowe'en one is a bit of a trick (ha!) question - the answer's in the "Trick or treat" - you get the sweets or chocolate as the treat to stop the trick. I think, anyway. I still got it wrong (I put Hide, cos that's what I do!)

[GetOrfMo1Land]

13/24. God.

Some of the questions were shchtoooooopid.

[AMumInScotland]

Scotland has a tradition of "guising" at halloween - you went round in costume and sang or did some other form of entertainment to try to get a few coins out of your audience. No threats involved....

[mustdache]

17/24 = fail

do i get to choose another place to live then? i'd quite like Denmark
