Title: UK Citizenship test Post by: Claw75 on July 06, 2009, 09:43:12 PM Someone I know posted this link on facebook, and I thought I'd share it here. This is a practice version of the 'life in the United Kingdom citizenship test' that people looking to become British Citizens have to pass (75%). The questions aren't what I was expecting at all. I failed :(

Bear in mind if you take the actual test you get to revise from the little book. Title: Re: UK Citizenship test Post by: TightEnd on July 06, 2009, 09:57:26 PM 11/24
a genuine struggle, and very stupid questions Title: Re: UK Citizenship test Post by: jakally on July 06, 2009, 09:59:10 PM 14/24 - trying to understand the relevance of most of it. Can't. Title: Re: UK Citizenship test Post by: boldie on July 06, 2009, 09:59:28 PM I would fail as well if I took it.
Mainly because the questions are wrong though; In which TWO of the following places does the European Parliament meet?? A London B Strassbourg C Paris, Oh really? I selected B only Answer is; Incorrect. The correct answers were B Strasbourg and D Brussels. Information on this topic can be found on page 53 of the 'Life in the United Kingdom: A Journey to Citizenship Handbook. no option D given...that's one way to keep the foreigners out, I guess.

FARCE (got the ones about religion and speed limits right though :D) Title: Re: UK Citizenship test Post by: Claw75 on July 06, 2009, 10:07:18 PM just seems to me that if they're going to do a citizenship test it should be more geared around social and cultural stuff: local customs, etiquette, that kind of thing. Found it very Bizarre!
Title: Re: UK Citizenship test Post by: kukushkin88 on July 06, 2009, 10:08:40 PM There is no way this is the actual test or a close approximation of it.

Some of those questions are like the jackpot questions they put on quiz machines when they want to screw you. Like how many baked beans has someone eaten in an hour? A: 336789212 B:336789213 ....etc. And with maybe more relevance to citizenship.. Title: Re: UK Citizenship test Post by: Scottish Dave on July 07, 2009, 04:58:53 AM Ill get my coat!

Questions answered correctly: 11 out of 24 (46%) (I got 3 half right, so I'm giving myself an extra point or two for fun = 13) Time taken: 04 minutes 50 seconds Ooops. Just hope they aren't waiting for me at the border. Title: Re: UK Citizenship test Post by: doubleup on July 07, 2009, 01:36:49 PM You have failed the practice citizenship test.
Questions answered correctly: 14 out of 24 (58%) The time available is very long given that most of the Qs are either know or don't know. I suspect that you might be allowed reference material in the exam, in which case its just a test of reading rather than knowledge.
