One question about it though. How can you pass it if you can,t speak or read English? Have a paid interpreter (Like driving tests) or What?????

AnninGlos Report 28 Feb 2012 13:04

Yep you did better than me, could you actually answer the questions or were they educated guesses :-)

Well there you go. Me an Aussie from the other side of the globe has just failed your citizenship test. Score 14/24, 58%. Hmmm not too bad for someone who does not live there, has never been there, and has a limited knowledge of your citizenshipness.

Wonder if there is a similar Australian test on line.

If the questions are all similar I fail to see what relevance to modern UK life the date that women first got divorced considering that was in the 19th century.

I took the test

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

Time taken: 04 minutes 20 seconds

the site Say's
This practice test is presented in a format that closely resembles the Official Test. Whilst the questions that we have selected are not the actual test questions,

All i can say about the test is that based on the questions asked it looks like it was put together by a group of MP's that have had no contact with the real British people due to the time they all spend with their heads up each others arses,

Mine have left school now Stray but I still remember the sometimes seemingly endless barrage of requests.

Another forum I go on has this subject come up quite often. One poster said she kept track one term of how much her son's school asked for. It came to about £100 :-0

i think so to Cat, altho i like your replies to the education question, only yesterday we got another coffee afternoon and bingo invite haha x

I got 15.

"In the 1980s, the largest immigrant groups were from the United States, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand."

I found this interesting, especially with the way the media goes on about immigration. I wonder what the more recent figures are.

#2 I got half right.

Education at state schools is free...so long as you ignore all those letters they send home requesting money for x, y and z :-P

#15 was about training opportunities but didn't specify exactly what they meant by training opportunities.

A lot of the questions, to me, are irrelevant to being a citizen.

The question is, would you want to be a citizen of the UK as it is now days.
