Gotta say it's a nasty gimmick to try and de-legitimise a british sense of national identity. Historical facts and date recollection is not what it means to be British. If they asked us about British culture, language, values, then I'd imagine the results would be much more different.
I know a lot about Japanese history from my Japanese history course - I could tell you about when their constitution was implemented or what Prime Minister was in when, or what the legal ages are for certain things, does that make me Japanese? Of course not.
Companies and mass media want to suck the sense of community out of the people. Remove a nations culture and all they have left is consumer choices. Nasty nasty future.

I got 14/24.

I got 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 17, 18, 21 and 24 right.
I do find it funny/odd how the ones not born in the UK are doing better...
But still. Most of these things have little/no relevance, and I guessed a fair few/almost all. Besides, unless you're blind, who cares how much money they save on a TV license? Or how many people own their own homes?

You know it makes me really glad seeing you guys say how silly you think the questions are and how they have absolutely nothing to do with how British you are! I wasn't born in this country but have lived here since I was 13 and my accent is nearly faded out, so I sound pretty much British but I have to take this test in order to get my citizenship.... I helped my mum memorize all the questions and answers in that book a couple of years ago when she applied for hers and I have to say it gets beyond ridiculous! But it makes me feel kinda good to know that there are people who were born here who agree with me

I did crap I got 30% . It wasn't really a Britishness test, it was just a test on bureaucracy, "were do you register the birth of your baby?" what relevance does that have? Some people clearly have an advantage there too.
Only questions on there I thought were good were. 1, 4, 6, 7, 9, 19, 24. The rest are just pointless or bureaucratic.

Me too - about everything

The questions are totally irrelevant, I'm as British as they come and yet someone who has been in Britain for 5 minutes can be deemed more British than me because they have memorised some pretty useless information for a test.
