19/24. but the only reason i know that is a combination of being a law student and random pub trivia, those questions just seemed arbitrary and most people would never get them. Also what the fuck was with that halloween one?

The citizenship test is just an arbitrary "elimate X% of all candidates for citizenship". I gave up halfway through, when I realised I'd no friggin' idea.

Not bad for guessing the whole thing.

Also, what the fuck is a Quango?

Yeah, no wonder I failed that. I thought Quango was a car from Renault. :p

Well, despite living in the UK all my life, and even taking History for a GSCE (which I thought might have helped), I still only scored 11/24 on this bullshit test.

Honestly though, how does any of that matter in day to day life?

That is the biggest pile of shit I have ever seen. This country has done some things that are stupid, but my god, that fucking test is so bad, unfair, full of holes and STUPID I know want to move to Canada and cut off all contact with the UK altogether. Not only are some of the questions wrong, but stupid too!

How do you stop kids vandalising your house on Hallowe'en? Give them Sweets and Money.

What if you are old and frightened of kids, and coming to the door hurts you? What if you're out on that night? What if their "tricks" involve burning your fucking house down? According to this quiz, the blackmail from these kids is totally legitimate and you should take your egging because clearly your a miserable sod and the materialistic society of today, and not only that, the materialistic children of today, and fucking entitled to sweets and money that you own. Disagree? Enjoy cleaning those windows, fetching toilet roll from off your wet winter roof etc. Want to complain to the police? This quiz says "fuck off, your own fault!"

As for the wrong ones, please refer to most of them, as demonstrated

I honestly hate that quiz. I bet that most of the UK would be deported if this quiz was implicated.

Then again, it will solve all immigration problems.

Get angry for more Calumon

Wtf was the s**t question about halloween? 'round my way, hiding worked as well as any other method. I knew what answer they intended, but sheesh.

A lot of the historical questions are utterly irrelevant - I mean does it matter WHEN a right was granted, more so that you HAVE that right?

The question about pay - so they WANT to advertise the fact that pay's f**ked up, even though legally it shouldn't be? Wtf?

Edit: I'm UK, and got 14

I got 9, not bad considering I've lived in the UK my entire fucking life.

If the extreme majority of Britons can't pass the quiz then the quiz needs to be made way, way easier.

I did a GCSE and an A level on English history as well.

I got 9/24. However, this was written by southeners, and as a northener, I am immediately disadvantaged when taking this test. Racism of the highest degree ( I kid, don't worry)

10/24.

And I did British Politics for a year at AS. Got an A.

And I did British History of the 18th Century at AS. Got an A.

Most importantly, I've lived here my whole life.

The website was wrong. The correct answer is none of the options. They are in fact:

quasi-atonomous-non-government-organisations.

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.
I think it meant 'uncodified'. Which is true.

See? Politics A-level and I still failed.

Most of those questions are ridiculously obscure. I wouldn't expect anyone to know even half of them. I got 7 and I've always lived there.
