I'm not really sure what point Channel 4 is trying to make by posting this test. Of course many people are going to get very few right because the test is not made up of stuff the majority of us would need to know during the course of a day. However, if we were trying to become citizens in this country, we wouldn't just be faced with the test cold. So perhaps a better option, if you want to see how British you are while giving yourself the same opportunity to understand the test that immigrants who actually take the test get, have a look at this: http://lifeintheuktest.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/ and then take the test.

And don't worry if you still don't pass. Like it says on the Border Agency's site (although the Channel 4 piece doesn't say this when it tells you you've failed): " [the test is] based on the handbook 'Life in the United Kingdom: A Journey to Citizenship', which you can buy from the Stationery Office. Don't worry if you don't pass the test the first time that you try it; you can try again when you feel ready. There's no limit to the number of times you can take the test".

Most of my answers were pure guesses.

[Livia]

54% on the first one. *does Livia's*

Mine's not a test Shaun... I was just trying to explain that people taking this test for real get time to read up on the answers and then take the test as many times as they like.

[Kizzy]

The test costs £50 to take, this is a sample...

But yeah this is all mostly just "how much history and random politics do you know about?" which really isn't the same as national identity, IMO.

We did this in Citizenship a while back. It's ludicrous that this is a requirement in order to become a British citizen. I haven't ever seen a single British person pass, and the questions aren't at all, or hardly relevant to anything that the immigrant needs to know. I actually find the whole thing quite laughable.

[Marc]

9/24 oops.. Glad I got the owner-occupied household question right though, considering it's all about my career :laugh:
