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%
54%, could have been worse!

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%!

Guessed a few correct mind.
19/24 - think I'm the only pass so far. :p:

EDIT: Second. :angry: Someone beat me by a minute. :getmecoat:

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.
10/24

I think there was like 2 i actually knew the answer to though!
9/24 :biggrin: 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...
13/24, pretty happy with that tbh.
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 :tongue:

How 'British' you are can hardly be reflected in a quiz that asks you about immigration, demographics, and Europe :tongue: 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.
