This practice test is presented in a format that closely resembles the Official Test.

Just a bit of fun :)

I failed. Wonder if I now qualify for full state benefits and free everything else::) ::)

That is a joke, failed again.

I've done it before many times - and failed each time. I'm an English language trainer and several years ago used to test people who had to pass the minimum level of English language skills (very low in my opinion) for their citizenship. The glossy paperwork, folders, publicity etc that the gov't produced for that effort must have cost a fortune. Then they discovered that other people (like me!) were getting paid for testing people, and invented this stupid test so they would get the income (is it £36 per test???).

And, KT Lawson, I haven't yet met anyone who has taken the test who is on benefits. In fact most of them are better off than I am.

I don't believe it, surely this must be a joke. I am English or whatever and don't even understand the questions, certainly don't know the answers. What complete idiot thought this one up. I am not even going to try again, failed twice. ;D ;D and I don't care, what a load of cr.p.

I had a Russian student (married to an Englishman) who got 100% for the test. Mind you, she studied the book so hard she probably learnt it off by heart. But she always has a ready answer with some daft gem of info she learnt from studying it. ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

I suppose I've failed, insofar as I cannot get access to the questionnaire.

Typical government site, total and absolute utter crap.

The answer accepted as correct to question 9 is not entirely accurate as prescription charges were scrapped in Wales in 2007.

I didn't... got 67% first time, 100% second. (Having checked the answers) I'm with Groucho Marx... " I wouldn't want to belong to any club that would have me as a member" ::)

23 out of 24. I think it helps that I currently live in Belgium so have a more detached view of UK life and an appreciation of the differences and nuances of EU life.

Pesky Wabbit · « **Reply #18 on:** July 24, 2009, 02:16:58 »

I've never seen such a load of crap questions. Most of them should have a third/fifth button "Why should I care ?"

Do I care how many days there are in a school year?,
Do I care which year women got the right of divorce?,
Do I care how many parliamentary constituencies are there?,
Do I care where European Parliament meet?
DO I care how many under 19s there are ?,
Do I care what the official report of the proceedings of Parliament is called ?
Do I care what the governing body of the EU is called ?

What a load of poppy-thingy.

Ishard · « **Reply #19 on:** July 24, 2009, 05:00:57 »

Failed! 17 out of 24 :(

I await deportation to somewhere nice and warm such as Aus or Hawaii or Bahamas, St kitts anywhere I can relax on the beach away from Gordon Brown and his cronies.
