    Have a go![^] The idea is if you can't get 75% you're not good enough. I got 15 out of 24 (63%) which is the best in the office so far. So, who's good enough?

      50% How would I know when married women were allowed to divorce? I'm male, I wasn't born then, and I've only lived here all my life...

              I'm not with 54%, but then again I never set a foot on British soil and also did no preparation for the test. But what is a 'single carriageway'? Some kind of road, that I can guess, but what kind? Some kind of road with a single lane in one direction only?

              A while ago he asked me what he should have printed on my business cards. I said 'Wizard'. I read books which nobody else understand. Then I do something which nobody understands. After that the computer does something which nobody understands. When asked, I say things about the results which nobody understand. But everybody expects miracles from me on a regular basis. Looks to me like the classical definition of a wizard.

                I got the same as you, but some of the questions seem pretty pointless. I don't consider that knowing the exact name of the governing body in Europe is important to living in the UK.

                          Why? I live here and a British Citizen, and cope well with it most days. Why would I need to know the name of a governing body? Or the percentage of the population that is Muslim? Why is either of these at all relevant to living and working in Britain?

                            Wow, this is even worse than the Dutch version No score - I gave up. Whose idea was it that being good at answering trivia questions is a good way to determine anything, except how hard the person studied for the test?

                                  England != Britain I don't know the precise name of every government department in the UK, and that doesn't prevent me from living a productive life in the UK. I also don't know how many hours children aged 13-16 can work, nor how many days a school has to open, nor how many Muslims there are, and it really doesn't matter for a citizenship test. I'd rather they tested on a knowledge of UK culture and history.

                                    I was taught ( in the United States :)) that citizenship involves at least some common knowledge about the country, its government and its people, as well as some personal interest in these things.

                                    A while ago he asked me what he should have printed on my business cards. I said 'Wizard'. I read books which nobody else understand.

                                      If it means I stop paying taxes then that is good!

                                          I got 14 (58%), however I would challenge a couple of the answers, and some of the rest are either ambiguous or irrelevant. Hands up how many people knew that "Ulster Scots" is a dialect.
