Go and wait outside the Headmasters Study

How did you do?

Applicants for British citizenship will be expected to answer 75% of 24 questions correctly.

You scored 100%!

Based on that short version it seems to me to be much easier than before.

Here's another one to try (http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/blog/quiz/2012/jul/05/uk-citizenship-test)

I managed 14 out of 15

Got number 4 completely wrong

Needs more thought than the other one though

[lordna]

perhaps they should include the question ...at what age is it legal to have sex.

[Michael Parnham]

The first one 70%, 6 correct on the second one :anerikke:

well that's english secondary modern schooling for you, where teachers threw a magazine at you to read rather than teach, probably learnt more from the magazine anyway (national geographical)

[joebloggs]

in the UK.

that is a good question, as in some 'cultures' its acceptable to marry girls as young as 11 or 12 :cwm23:

[andy222]

10% can i be deported to the philippines please? :biggrin:

[KeithD]

0% ... Bloody no questions on slags or car radios :NoNo:

[Terpe]

I wonder if there'll be any transitional arrangements for this new test?

I would guess quite a lot of folks are currently studying the old version.

March seems quite soon to introduce such a different testing base.

[Moy]

do we need this when we apply for citizenship terpe:cwm25:

[Arthur Little]

90 percent in the first test. Like Joe & Les, I put 21 as being the minimum age for jury service ... when, in fact, it's 18! :doh

[imagine]

10% can i be deported to the philippines please? :biggrin:

80% or 12 out of 15 in Peter's test ... along with a congratulatory message to the effect that I can keep my British passport ... :Yippeee: ... good news!

:anerikke: ... although I daresay some here might, on occasion, feel inclined to tell the authorities where to "stuff it" ... or words to that effect.

[WhiteBloodAda]

90% in the first one, same as everyone else, damn jury! I went for 21 aswell!

11 out of 15 on the second. There was some tough ones in there that I had no idea about! I wonder how many got the "trick" first question wrong. Foreigners I've spoken to over the years never seem to understand it :P
