Would you pass a test for UK Citizenship?
Pass rate is 75% to prove you know enough about the UK to become a citizen.
I got 29%... Deport me now.

They give you 45mins I did it in less than 3.
I got 58% on the UK Citizenship test. Seems like I belong here.

Two questions:
What resources do they have available to research while taking the test, given that they are allowed 45 minutes, so there must be some?
Why the fuck do you have to answer questions about the EU in a British Citizenship Test?

had to do this test and you get a big handbook thing to revise with. I didn't know half the stuff in there and so much of the information seemed utterly pointless, in terms of making you a 'good citizen' I think the time is 45 minutes as many people taking it have English as a second/third/fourth language so they need time to decipher and understand the questions.

I got 79%, with much guesswork. Why would anyone need to know the decade in the 19th century when a law was passed, or the percentage distributions of major religions in the UK?

Struggling to see what any of these questions have to do with living in the UK. Also trick question, "The official report of the proceedings of Parliament is called" has no option for propaganda.

but some of the questions were... shall we say... a little biased.
I mean, for one thing, I don't drive, so how should I know the speed limit on single carriageways? I was born in 1985, so how the hell am I supposed to know the largest immigrant group? And some of the questions don't relate to Scotland at all (like the Church of England). And you didn't seem to get half marks for the "choose two" questions.
Why don't they ask us proper questions, like "Who was Oliver Cromwell?" (Answer: An Arsehole)
And if you send in a well written letter of complaint after failing, do you pass the secret test of character?

Is Scotland still part of the UK?
Perhaps they've decided that Scotland will be independent soon so don't ask any questions on it.
They don't ask proper questions as that might make people think and that's the last thing they want.
It's like the Simpson's episode where Abu is answering the question on why the American Civil War broke out. The answer was to abolish slavery not that the North wanted to break the power base of the South which was based on slaves so by abolishing slavery you destroyed the economic power of the South

Yeah questions should be such as:
Which TWO people were born in the United Kingdom:
- Paul Daniels
- Hulk Hogan
- Sherlock Holmes
- Frank Bruno
or,
What is Blue Peter?
- Famous British Galleon
- The cure for the Black Death
- The name for the 2012 Olympic Mascot
- Television show
How ironic that doing the test can make you not want to live here even more.

Hmmm, question 6
"Is the following statement TRUE or FALSE?
'Ulster Scots is a dialect which is spoken in Northern Ireland.'"
It's not true. There is such a dialect and there is an ulster scots association which distributes pamphlets in ulster scots but nobody actually speaks it, it's just a bollocks made up thing because of the "If the fenians/prods have X then we have to have one too" attitude that prevails around here

I remember seeing this on here once before
and it's still extremely fucking annoying.
How does it matter in the slightest whether or not you know what percentage of the population is Muslim? If you're refused entry because you thought it was 3.7% when it was actually 4.2%, you'd have every right to go fucking ballistic, especially if someone else was granted entry due to ignorance and random clicking.
If the test was about our current culture or our values (eg: You accidentally spill someone's pint. What should you do? a] prostrate yourself in front of him and offer him your wife. b] apologise and buy him another. c] pre-emptively punch him in the neck and run.) I could see the point, but as it stands passing this test won't make you any fitter for life in the UK.
This is particularly worrying for me right now as I'm marrying my American fiance in a couple of months, and it would be nice if she didn't have to revise unimportant arbitrary things before she was allowed to stay here.
Cunts to the lot of 'em.
