Poll: UK Citizenship Quiz

[zHellas]

I got 12/24 and I'm from the U.S..

Honestly, I guessed a lot.

 

[Esotera]

"You scored 4 out of a possible 24"

heh. I'm American.

Congratulations, you hold the current record the spread of answers seems to be pretty random though. It seems to be mostly guesswork.

Give me history of importance to the founding of modern British society, give me current information that should be know (I like the fact they asked what our constitution was) not most of that test.

Yeah, this is my issue with the test, it was a load of pointless facts. They should have gone more into detail with the constitution, asking what rights you have as a British citizen. Anything that doesn't require pointlessly memorising numbers.

 

[deal]

Failed; Non UK. 10 out of 24.

 

[Jamous]

Well that was an interesting series of questions. I don't see how they make me more or less British though. Seriously, some were just... odd.

 

[goldendriger]

Ho-Lee shit that was hard. Ive been in the UK all my life and i consider myself kind of up on this stuff, and i was stumped for most of these.
10 OUT OF 24?! ARE YOU KIDDING?!

 

[Divine Miss Bee]

barely passed, with 18/24. i'm an american, too. i was surprised that i had to do very little guessing, though grateful because am clearly a bad guesser.

EDIT: went back and tried again. 23/24, just by changing my responses on the true/false and double checking the button i clicked before submitting. i really hope the "one" i keep getting wrong isn't that there's only a 5% pay rate difference between men and women; that would just be backwards and silly.

I scored 7 /24, not very good, but then again I'm from Denmark and the danish released theirs a few years back, a study showed that around 75% of Danish people coulnd't even pass it.

The Dainish one is BS too. Also, I was one point of last time. God damnit.

OT: Totally qlueless!

 

[TheScottishFella]

I got an 11/24 and a UK citizen if I studied maybe I would have done better rather than it being right off the bat.

 

[mb16]

8 out of a possible 24

7. In which year did married women get the right to divorce their husband?

Spoiler

Correct answer: 1857
You answered: 1882

why do i need to know this to live in the uk?

 

[Ickabod]

Failed but as long as I can pass my countries test I'm still good.

 

[Viral_Lola]

16/24... I live in the US and uhm... I'm a BOC so I guess that's bad?

 

[Knight Captain Kerr]

I got 10 out of a possible 24 so failed.
I am from Ireland, also the test was stupid.

 

[Sizzle Montyjing]

5/24.
I'm a 16 year old British kid, and i couldn't give a fuck.
Most of those questions were really, REALLY ponitless and/or stupid.

 

[Sassafrass]

8 out of 24 here, and I've been a UK citizen for 20 years. I be fucked, methinks.

 

[The Random One]

9 out of 24... guess I have another reason to stay away from England other than bad weather and cuisine.

The hardest thing about that test is that there are plenty of questions on quantities with similar answers, so even if you have some idea of what the answer is it won't help you at all.

 

[The_Emperor]

HAHAHAHA! YES!

I got 7

I thought the one about the unwritten constituion was a bit dodgy, we have the magna carta.
Everything else was just silly or open to interpretation.

 

[Fishyash]

Meh, just buy the pamphlet and answer the quetsions for a very easy quiz...

I got a 9, british (I didn't buy the pamphlet). I don't really see how trivia counts as a citezenship test.

 

[Summerstorm]

I ultrafailed that... also i am german.
12/24 Guessed and/or estimated most answers, could have been 6/24 or 20/24 just as well.

Test was hard... and some questions were just... WEIRD

 

[Irridium]

11/24

Not bad for guessing the whole thing.

Also, what the fuck is a Quango?
