Citizenship test.

Inspired by Radio 4's The Vote Now Show, I took the online practice Life In The UK Test, designed to test immigrants on such essential everyday knowledge as why the Hugeunots left France.

I scored 66%. I'll pack my bags tomorrow.

83%

And it said I passed. Hm... Can I have your comics?

I got 83% too. Wrong on the biggest ethnic minority group and the length of time before the census data becomes public knowledge. We need to work out a tiebreaker to decide who gets the comics.

Nah - I got 91%, I'll take them :o)

Those were two of the ones I got wrong as well. I also got the exams wrong (and immediately after seeing the right answer thought "Oh, right. That'll be what that 'return of the eleven-plus' thing was about, then...") and my only excuse for failing to realise housing in Northern Ireland is provided by the Northern Ireland Housing is that I've been watching too much QI, and thought it looked like a trap...
