You scored 14 out of a possible 24.
Fortunatly being as i was born in the UK, my parents, grandparents and great grandparents were all born here and i have served in the UK armed forces, i can safely assume that i wont be kicked out anytime soon.
Jemal who lives in my attic with his 4 wives and 7 children might be, but i think it would infringe on his human rights.
And it's not like genocidal maniac's have any place better to go is it?

The stuff that on that isn't known by the majority of UK residents, and it's not something you'd really need for daily life. Also there's pretty much nothing about the queen or the system of government..which there should be more of in my opinion.cahtush said:
This was really visible in the AV referendum earlier this year...everyone seemed to think it was really complicated & less fair than our current system.int boom said:
:O 23? How?! I'm fairly sure that it's serious, but they're reforming the test. Whether it'll get better or worse is entirely up for debate.weker said:
The maths doesn't add up, 10/24 = 42%henritje said:
you,re right I think the 10/24 is the true result because I doubt you would fail the test with 75%Esotera said:
I got 10 right and I'm from the Britain. We did something like this in my sociology class once, and it was utter stupidity, which was the whole point of learning about it in the class. I mean god forbid they could make a test to show a personality of someone to see if they could fit into society well enough or something along those lines, test's like these are such nonsense. I mean bloody hell, What the fuck is a quango, sounds like an exotic dance/animal to me.
7 of 24.
That was a very difficult test. Most of it honestly had very little to do with what I think should be in a citizenship test. The questions about the constitution, electorates in parliament, byelections, public schools, etc. are fine. It's those useless ones about immigration, religion and 19th century history that seem way out of place.

Fairly sure this started with Blair... who I'm fairly sure, I hate more. *insert expletive filled rant here*Togs said:
Not really... the Magna Carta was more of a charter than a constitution, and all bar three clauses were repealed by about a hundred and fifty years ago.The_Emperor said:

OT: Passed, but only just... probably out of luck, 'cos I seriously didn't know a lot of those answers (divorce year, West Indies recruitment office...) and this is fricking political/British social history, which has little to no bearing on how Britons live now.
British, 5/24, Oh yeah.
Also, wasn't the first census made in 1086 by William I as the Domesday Book?

10/ 24 and I'm an Irishman. The only question I'm certain I got right is the Ulster-Scots one. That is genuinely considered a legitimate dialect of English, which you can study at some unis here. No joke. Regardless, I'm not really bothered. The questions largely surrounded things which I doubt even the common Brit knows much about. I pity anyone going up for citizenship.
I only got 8 of those right...Well I'm an American who knows just about nothing about the UK. I may try again in the near future.
Most history lessons in British schools deal with the empire and the bloody textile industry.chronicfc said:
But most of those are ridiculous. Apparently to pass you either have to use google or be more British than the Queen.
15/24, for the record. Every date or statistics based question was a guess.
