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

I got 13 out of 24... Not that I want to live in the UK :p

You'd have got the one about Halloween right Slinks ?

Certainly

Have to admit, I was a bit surprised to see that one on there though!

12 out of 24. Shocked I did so well!

14.

What bizarre questions though.

I think I prefer the Aussie one...Who is Shane Warne etc

hahah ... I am quite surprised that I scored as high as 12.

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?!

It's amazing how much can happen in just 32 years.

That wasn't easy.

11, mostly guesswork.

The answer to the Aussie one is Don Bradman. I've been revising

Tas · Post by **Tas** » 13th Oct, '11, 07:08

they ask about divorce legislation introduction???? wow, that's tough.

Spike · Post by **Spike** » 13th Oct, '11, 21:25

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!

sluggo · Post by **sluggo** » 14th Oct, '11, 04:39

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.

Fat Bob · Post by **Fat Bob** » 14th Oct, '11, 07:55

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)

Maybe it's the current mish-mash govenrment's way of syaing "We're full"....
