    That's quite depressing.
    I feel its an injustice.

    I mean, do can we buy an A-Level book that tells us EXACTLY what question will appear, AND how to answer it - opposed to revising a whole spectrum?

    No.

    Does anyone else find it quite amusing that more people from abroad are passing compared to people born in the UK?

    Percentage scoring: 75-100%:

    Born outside the UK: 7%
    Born in the UK: 4%

    Surely that's just because they're more likely to have had to take the test in the past so they'll have already learnt the book before.

    9/24. To be fair I'm from Northern Ireland so some of these question aren't so relevant to me. But how is anyone supposed to get 75%!

    9/24. Hardly anyone would pass that if you need 75%.

    Also interesting that a film with a U classification is intended for 4 year olds and above.

    Not really, I would imagine most people born outside the UK haven't done the test seeing as it was only introduced 5-7 years ago.

    9/24 It's odd when you look at the pie chart for those born abroad and see that they get higher scores...:rolleyes:

    There wouldn't be many people left in this country if we all had to pass this test...

    I got 15/24 (63%)

    I feel sorry for the people that have to take this test, some of the questions are just ridiculous

    They have a little revision book, they don't just get quizzed on everyday life

    How 'British' you are can hardly be reflected in a quiz that asks you about immigration, demographics, and Europe I got 18/24

    38% - 9/24

    That was with both me and my partner working on it.

    Had to guess loads. Some of the questions seem pretty out of place.
