UK Citizenship Test
-
I did a Canadian Citizenship test about 4 years ago... guess to whom we pledge allegiance to? HM Queen Elizabeth II and her heirs... Don't mind Elizabeth but I most certainly don't like Charles.

I'm Irish, and I got 54%. Have you considered that perhaps you aren't British? I'd be very curious what the average score by MP's would be if they took the test honestly and without preparation. -Rd

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?

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.

Actually I don't think it has to be a single line in each direction, it's just not a divided highway. IIRC, you can two lanes going in both directions and still be a single carriage way. Wikipedia seems to agree.[^]
I stand corrected!
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

My personal favourite: "Adults who have been unemployed for six months are usually required to join New Deal if they wish to continue receiving benefit." - a true or false question. The people the test is aimed at are never allowed to claim benefits anyway - it must be the worst of a load of useless googleable/bingable trivia questions. The test which is worse is the English language test - the *advanced* level is easier then GCSE English, but if a foreign national HAS GCSE English they still are not exempt from the *basic* level, which is the only one they actually have to pass!

You Brits should try a US one... It's much easier... I got 48/50 on this one :) http://www.800citizen.org/us\_citizenship\_test/american\_citizen\_test/
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?
Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)Yeesh! I did 20, and the only one I got wrong was "Who is the governor of your state?" (not only wouldn't I have known, but I couldn't remember which state I'd chosen). And where were the questions on particle Physics? Looks like it's true that having a brain isn't required for immigration to the States.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

But do you know what percentage of the US population is Muslim?
Good morning! Not currently. I have been back in Europe and out of school for quite a while now and I don't track all possible information on any country in the world. But here we have similar tests with similar questions and I passed it easily when I tried it. After all, it's really stuff you can pick up by reading a newspaper once in a while or watching a better news program.
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.
