Changes to the Life in the UK citizenship test were revealed yesterday. The test applies to anyone seeking a British passport, or indefinate leave to remain.

The Guardian has a sample of the test.

here's my score:


Ohmigodz! I'm a fuckin' furriner! Who knew?

I failed as well, Dana. See you in Oz!

Even tho I'm American, I thought I 'd try it. Surprisingly, I got 9 of 'em right.

Thoughts as I take the test:
Question 5 is terribly written - they're all true.
13 is ambiguous abut "information" - identifiable or not?
20 appears ignorant of the Doomsday book!
23 shows a distinct lack of imagination.

I scored 15 out of 24. I'm not a pommie, then, but I'm the pommiest one here yet!

I got a 9 out of 24. I only knew one answer, so 8 out of 24 was just random chance.

12 out of 24.
Never mind.
I see most of those questions as completely irrelevant.
They should have proper questions.

All your shopping has been swiped through.
What happens next:
- You start fumbling for your purse/ wallet as if surprised at having to pay
- You hand over cash/ card immediately, you had it ready in your hand
- You carry on packing your shopping, even though you know you will have to wait for your payment to be processed afterwards

You are at a bus stop. You have been waiting 30 minutes for a bus that should run every 12 minutes.
Do you:
- Complain to the person next to you that this route is dreadful
- Walk off and get a taxi
- Look to see who you can push past when the bus finally arrives

Who is Eamonn Holmes?
- A roly-poly presenter on daytime TV
- A smug git
- All of the above

I got six. You are all safe from me.

11 of 24 correct for this American. Not bad, I guess.

UK -
Questions answered correctly: 6 out of 24 (25%)

Time taken: 05 minutes 30 seconds

Six. Six well thought out guesses. Or random guesses.

I knew the religion question, the rest were guesses. Quando, was it? WTH?

Quando: bird poo?

I don't know. I think I got that one right.

Why are the results of the census kept hidden for 100 years, anyway? So Dan Brown has something to write about? Seems weird, that a census would be secret.

Shhh don't tell anyone!
