20/24 - I enjoyed the question where one of the answers was "meets with other PMs to talk about the good old days". Nice.
I'm a Mexican.

7/24

Edit: I actually read the questions this time and got 19/24 :awesome:

Oh and also this questions answer made me lol:Why did women's protests decrease during the First World War?

A. Because women accepted their position. :facepalm: ....can see now some asian guy pick this :giggle:

22/24 - and I'm not even a citizen lol.

But I disagree with this one (as an over-enthusiastic law student blatantly):

No laws passed by the Parliament can be challenged by any British court --- I sensed the 'right' answer would be 'true' but I chose 'false' due to some recent cases which call that into question (and overturn that principle really). Though they gave me a cross on the test! They should avoid objectionable questions tbh.
22/24.

I misread one of the questions I got wrong, however. I know that

No laws passed by the Parliament can be challenged by any British court
True
False

Is true but I put false because I thought it said that no laws cannot be challenged

I'm not showing off. I don't consider myself British and I don't have a British passport either so there is nothing to gain from it.

I meant what happens to a prospective Brit if they get below 75%?

Immigrant apparently.

"You have FAILED the Test"...oh dear...:colondollar:
Ah, it's fine. I don't even have a British passport. I can be excused from failing. That's what I'll convince myself anyway. =P

Also the grammar/spelling mistakes in the test distracted me!:angry:


If anyone was wondering..16/24...

I have no need of knowing a lot of things in that test. I couldn't care less who draws up the European Convention on Human Rights.
