Re: UK Citizenship test
You scored 9 out of a possible 24
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
Well, I don't think it was insufficient knowledge of the English language
Not quite half right -- well, more than half of them were a complete stab in the dark

12 out of 24. Shocked I did so well!
A woman walked into a pub and asked the barman for a double entendre. So he gave it to her.

Re: UK Citizenship test
Wow, I got 17, I think I did better than I did on the Oz one. Perhaps I should move countries.
Hey, I didn't get any questions about Halloween...you must have had a different set of questions to mine.
Must admit we use a lot of the same laws and departments here so I just guessed they would be the same.

Ooh, 19. Quite pleased with that.
But more importantly:
"In which year did married women get the right to divorce their husband?"
Why did no-one tell me?!

Blimey, I often say I feel like a foreigner when I go back to the UK nowadays and it seems like I really am. Only 12/24!

Re: UK Citizenship test
Spike, I got a 12 and I'm a bloody Sepo. I actually guessed at most of them. You've been gone too long or just long enough.
I guess we're not in Kansas anymore.

Re: UK Citizenship test
Some of them are quite difficult due to their obscureness. The example above about divorce date....WTF? It's not something that was taught in school (and I did the Victorian period in history).
If you actually want to find out any answers, check out the "official" UK Citizenship test[\ (which has pretty much the same questions but also a review)
