12/24, not bad for being a US citizen. Although the Halloween one was pretty stupid in the context of citizenship.

Failed. This is probably all basic social studies for you guys but I really didn't the answers to any of it. I pretty much guessed on everything. The only one I put some thought into was the one on who the monarch isn't allowed to marry based on how the royal wedding was in the news a few months ago.
11/24.....what a stupid fucking test. British citizenship tests should be more like:
1:Today, yesterday and Tomorrow, what will the weather be like:
. Shit
. Shit
. Shit
. Shit.
2.Will you work for less money than (insert downtrodden minority name here)?
.Yes
.What?
.No Abla
.Which way to france?

THAT. Is a British Citizen Test.The_root_of_all_evil said:
I've failed at 12/25 but maybe they have a point, I mean the UK is the most self loathing country on the planet, isn't it time we regained some pride and started knowing shit about our government and community again. We're like a conglomeration of mistrustful reclusives living together only because we have to.
I got a 21 and I'm not a UK citizen. I missed ones with stupid numbers.... the constituency one. Also, how many million youth question. The differences between 13 and 14 million are negligible in this type of question.
For the rest I used common sense and uncanny luck.

Root above certainly understand Britishness far more than Cameron, but then Cameron doesn't know much about Britain that his butler hasn't told him.
Hilarious to think they're testing 'Britishness' by asking questions about our culture and history, something we're generally almost proud of being ignorant about.
Surely failing the test should be proof you're going to integrate perfectly. If there's anything the brits don't like it's a smartarse, or a winner.
On top of that, we're using this to stop immigrants getting in, when most of our history is based on us showing up in other countries, just wandering and demanding free stuff like food and land.
At least most immigrants don't force their way into the country with guns then demand to put their own flag up and call it 'Immigrantland'.

9/24. American citizen here. This may be the dumbest test ever. For most of it, I was blaming general government incompetence for how hard and pointless this test was. But when I got to that Halloween question, I knew they were just trolling us.
Seriously, what does a person's reaction to a bunch of punk-ass kids have to do with eligibility for citizenship? The question was particularly dumb, since "run outside with a baseball bat, yelling at the top of your lungs to 'get the hell off my lawn, you little pricks'" wasn't an option.
Tsk, tsk. Is that the kind of roll-over-and-take-it attitude they're promoting over there now? What a shame.
Edit: Oh, it was just talking about standard trick-or-treating? Well, then, disregard my belligerent reaction. The test just made it sound, not like a bunch of kids in costumes asking for candy (which is what the holiday is all about), but like some teenagers getting ready to egg your house.
It's still a stupid question, but for slightly different reasons. I just didn't want anyone thinking I was that much of an asshole.

11/24 and from Australia. I did know the quango question, though. All those years of watching Yes, Prime Minister has paid off.
Failed with flying colours, and I was raised and lived in England for the first 26 years of my life.
Really pathetic, honestly, and what is most laughable is that xenophobic twits will still insult immegrants while those immegrants apparently know more about England than the English.

Not really, the education system should be concentrating on important things..like, you know, maths, literacy, science.Kendarik said:
Many of the things on that test are just straight up pointless information, or terrible steriotypes. Some are even localised culture things.
There is a question about halloween and "How do you stop kids from tricking you.." Frankly, how did I stop them? Tell them to get the fuck off my property.
That apparentrly means I shouldn't be a UK citizen?
I passed 24/24, and I'm not a UK citizen.
I knew half because of a combination of random trivia and common sense, but the other 12 were completely fucking blind luck, and I'm surprised I got them right.
Seriously.
I must have half a leprechaun hidden somewhere on my person.
Technically, I guess I got 12/24, but I did get them right.
