Now try the UK Citizenship test!

Ok so we’ve tried the Canadian and US tests so lets try the UK one!

Im sure there are much better versions of this available online but lets try this one

:smiley:

91%. I missed the one on 18 year olds voting. But it was a tricky question, anyway. But I will admit, more than a couple of answers were WAGs.

8/12, 66%

Missed the ones for voting age, helmet laws, judge versus jury, and location of the Scottish Parliament. Guessed on EU size and the tax question.

58%. :frowning:

I scored better on the U.S. one.

(And technically, although I don’t hold a valid passport, I am a Brit, since I was born in Scotland!)

The only reason I got the helmet law question right was that I noticed the word “everyone.” Absolutes in MC questions are almost always wrong.

The trial by Jury isn’t true either

It can happen when the jury has been intimidated.

It can happen in terrorism cases too.

And since when did setting up a business have to do with citizenship?

58%. I guess I’m more than half British. And I do mean “guess.”

83%

75%, in spite of a couple of embarrassing blunders.

58%. My English ancestors shake their heads.

I got a 95% on the U.S. one and a 58% on this one, which is perhaps understandable, given that I am American, not British. Are you really expected to know Council Tax numeric minutiae and nitpicking exceptions in helmet laws to be a citizen? I can’t think of anything like that on the U.S. tests.

58%. Apparently I know little to nothing.

66%.

I don’t feel bad- I didn’t miss any that a non-Brit should be expected to know.

66%

I guessed St. George, WRONG

The council tax fooled me.

The Helmet law and what women had no right to do also got me.
I was suprise at the lack of Monty Python based questions.

Brit here, only 83% - missed the helmet one (which I probably knew but didn’t think about), and blundered on number of countries in EU. It’s still a lot better than my US test score though!

I think a lot of these questions on both tests have very little to do with citizenship, but that’s hardly an original view.

66% - slightly shameful. I guessed wrong with the crash helmet, council tax (never been in that situation so didn’t even know you got a discount!), saints day (I guess St David) and voting.

17/18. Woot! I can go live with my parents and sibling! :wink:

(missed the turbans. I wonder how well they, um, stack up against a helmet in the head-non-splattering stakes)

75%

Some really odd questions there. I only know about the council tax discount because I qualify. Who outside Northern Ireland knows what their holidays are? Number of countries in the EU? Bah.

Should have had at least one question where the correct answer is Mornington Crescent.

I got 5 of 12, which is pretty funny considering that I am a citizen (never lived there, though). I never had to take a test, just pay gobs and gobs of money.
