JayJay Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 You have passed the practice citizenship test.Questions answered correctly: 21 out of 24 (88%) I'm gobsmacked as I passed! Does it come with a free ticket? [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just john Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Well interesting or not, I failed, (underestimated the muslims and the methodists[:)]) but we europeans can move freely can't we?![8-|] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve@sarah Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Now I've failed, does that mean I'll get kicked out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weedon Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I found the test so easy it only took 5mins and 41 seconds. I can't believe I failed though..what only 54% ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 54% for me too... I failed...But in only 4 minutes 10 seconds.. [:P]The UK does not want me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerise Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Failed - 42%. Will have to sneak in the back door. What daft questions - most people would neither know nor care about such things.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judith Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 [quote user="Cerise"] What daft questions - most people would neither know nor care about such things..[/quote]Agreed - I got 50% - but I don't think citizenship depends on knowledge of extreme statistics - and as a previous poster said - who really cares. And quite a lot of the questions were not really relevant to life in the UK!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cendrillon Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Failed as well and I live here (most of the time), will I be kicked out?Has anyone passed?[;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judith Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 [quote user="Cendrillon"]Failed as well and I live here (most of the time)][/quote]Well I lived there until late last year - AND - I am supposed to know these things as an information professional as was!I maintain that these are the sorts of questions dreamt up by civil servants with nothing else better to do (and for my sins I was one of those for about 6 months of my nearly 40 yr working life!) and have no real relevance for normal daily living.

AnOther Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Flashed through in a couple of minutes for a miserable 11/24 and 46% What utterly ridiculous questions though, who knows or cares which year women were given the right to divorce their husbands for instance or if the number of under 19 year old's is 13, 14, 15 or 16 million. What on earth has any of that that to do with becoming a British citizen.It's not a test of Britishness at all but simply a question of whether you can memorise what they say in the handbook or not [:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[;-)][/quote]Surely this has been on the forum before - and the suggestion was which team do you support eg cricket, football etc. That might be the nearest one can ever get to real Britishness.

Weedon Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Be re-assured that if you ever want to get your foot back into the UK all you will need to do is learn the names of the East Enders cast and watch Big Brother, for that is, what seems to me, passes for general knowledge these days.

Gardian Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Both OH and I got a miserable 54% and thus the big 'F'.I was rather hoping that she'd pass so that they'd let her back in & then I could set myself up as an international playboy.[;-)]BTW, 2 questions didn't offer you one of the 2 answers, so I claim "foul".
