    Fail 64%

    does that mean I have to go to France?

    Failed, seemed to me that there were lots of "benefit/entitlement" questions. No good for me I was never entitled/claimed for anything.

    67% and fail.
    Will have to take it one day, and pay through the nose for the privilege. What does answering 24 multichoice questions test anyway?

    Another 67%.

    Disappointing lack of meaningful questions: "When are trails cheeky?" "What threat might redsocks pose on a technical descent?"

    I mean, what actual useful stuff are they teaching our new friends and neighbours?

    I might have a hunt for an online one for the motherland France and see if I do any worse there!

    38% (fail). What a load of tripe! 🙄 If these are the things you need to know about the UK, then I'm glad I'm living in Germany. I'll not give up my UK passport though. 😈

    71% and still a fail. Does this mean we'll all be shipped off to the gulags? Who will be left to keep the trails open?

    Question 24 was a tricky one , "What tyres for riding undetected throught the channel tunnel ?"

    I failed! When do I leave? Will they pay for my flights out? 🙄

    Got to say that is a stunningly bad test, knowing the hours a 13-16 year old can work in a school week is certainly going to stump any would be terrorists from gaining access to the UK…..not.

    46% what did most of that bollocks have anything to do with being a UK citizen?

    54% fail. I wonder what percentage of the current uk population could actually pass this test?

    63% Fail

    I live in France, does this mean I wont be let back in?

    How does knowing this sort of rubbish set you out as being a suitable British citizen?

    Pretty shocked, actually – where were the questions like, "Is it acceptable to serve Yorkshire Puddings with roast chicken?"

    42%… when do I leave.

    63% FAIL, and I guessed randomly on loads…

    Grumm, I can't imagine there are that many UK citizens who can pass that. I thought it was interesting what sort of things they decided was relevant for an emigrating person to know. Nothing about our culture or habits, about our norms of behaviour. I was hoping for questions like:

    "Which is correct: colour or color?"

    54% I have very little idea about religion or politics as neither I have any interest in. Seemed to be a lot of questions around these so that was me stumped. And what has how days schools stay open got to do with me wanting to be a resident of a country?

    what a truly eclectic mix of questions with little relevance to life in this country……I wonder if it is designed to be difficult to pass?
    48% in 3 mins mind
    School days no ides but I could work out 38×5 – as they close on BH + elections I am still not sure what the real answer is.

    Colleague at work has an american wife who had to take the test and he showed me the book. Some of it is quite interesting but as said above, it focuses on some specific areas and then it's pretty easy to spot the questions after that. The immigration one being an example.

    It doesn't really measure whether you're a good citizen or not (since I consider I am yet – speak the language, understand the culture, never been in trouble with the law, pay my taxes, etc. – but failed the test. But in it's defence, it does make potential immigrants learn a bit about the country and the culture as well as knowing what ACAS does!

    58% and not entirely sure how much of that makes me a poor UK citizen. When did women get the right to divorce there husbands? An important date to be sure but do you really need to know that to live here today?
    Fortunately the wife failed as well so we can be deported together, she will not need to divorce me 🙂

    50summat% fail. I was disappointed that there wasn't a 'waste of public money' option as an answer to the 'what is a quango?' question!

    You have failed the practice citizenship test.

    Questions answered correctly: 14 out of 24 (58%)

    Time taken: 04 minutes 24 seconds

    Oh dear, can I be repatriated to somewhere nice and warm with great hills and open minded women ?

    So, much like the government favoured SATS, you're expected to revise for the test from a set text.

    How is that supposed to make a distinction between those who wish to become integrated citizens and those who just want the passport?

    Since STW forumites, dare I say it, represent a fairly rounded group with above average intellect (with a few notable exceptions 🙂 ) its extraordinary that genuine UK citizens find the test so difficult or not even relevant to citizenship.

    I wonder how much that lot cost? 😉

    54% I'll get my coat.

    Thorougly disappointed with the test though, anyone who's prepared to learn a load of facts and figues is in regardless of whether they understand the culture. 🙄
