Guest prescience Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Might've seen this on the news; I got 6 and narrowly escaped being put on a plane at Heathrow Potential citizens get the guide and an opportunity to study it, but the test below is 'blind' http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4099770.stm How does mugging up on what clearly a cr*p publication and then answering questions based solely on that constitute being suitable to be a citizen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 I got 6 aswell, mainly throught pure guess work. Some of the questions asked are rediculous though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 I got 8. The question about spilling someone's pint was tricky, I would expect to get slapped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkfish Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 How the **** am I supposed to know how many Scots there are I thought the population ratio question was the only relevant question in the whole test!! My 6 year old niece could tell you approximately how many English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish there are in the UK. Unfortunately, the other 3 nations of our great alliance don't matter to some. However, I doubt she'd know her rights if she got arrested for fighting in the pub or indeed the protocol for spilling someone's pint.

AndyC Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I'm quite proud to say I got 6 in what is quite frankly a bull***t test. How on earth can we admit people into the country based on this crap? What a joke. Especially given that they've also got all the reading material first. Yeah offer to buy someone another pint, oh but pick you teeth up as you get up off the floor first. I wonder what the tests are in say France, Germany, Italy, Spain, hell anywhere - I bet they're a damn sight harder than that. And I also bet that the test is offered in any number of languages - thats something else that grates me Its wonderful to see that the government spends my taxes in such a great way.
