Are you British (enough)?

[zebra50]

I just failed the British citizenship quiz...

http://www.howbritishareyou.com/quiz.html

I scored a pitiful 15 from 24 (62.5%). Pass mark is 18 

I've lived here since for 42 years, read the grown up newspapers and have higher education. If I hadn't been born here then I could be deported.

Maybe Yorkshire really is a different country!

Don't feel bad, I only got 45%

Yeah I've seen something similar before. I'm not sure I know anyone who'd pass - certainly not me.

I think the only things it really tests is how good you are at revising for an exam.

This ex-POM also failed 

But I can sing the chorus of On Ilkla' Moor Ba' tat, so I hope I pass the Tyke's Test.

I only attempt the verses after 2 pints o' Tetley's bitter.  ;D

I'm tempted to take it but I'm taking the US citizenship test on Nov 5th and don't want to get my tests mixed up!

13/24 here ....yikes !

Rob, you are from S of Watford so ineligible for citizenship of God's own County.

I'm a fellow tyke and I scored 18/24 so I think I'm just OK :O)

Looks like I'm being deported as well. Where will they send me?

That's the score you'll get when you always select the last option, you don't even have to read the questions

Good luck and welcome. I am pretty sure there will be completely different questions.

Thanks John.  I've been here for 11 years and grew up in Canada so the questions are *mostly* easy.  I'm ready!

I am too scared to take the test. 6 years in the US, and people from the UK say I've lost the accent.

My wife (Texan) has made it clear that if I lose my accent, she will divorce me.

Therefor, i must still have *some* accent left.

 

[websoul]

Failed, got 14 out of 24.

Where are they going to send me?  Do we get to choose?

Websoul,

Somewhere cold, wet, windry, grey and miserable.

Hold on... that's where I live anyway!

 

[pucho812]

I scored a 50%, I guess watching BBC tv shows and news is paying off

LOL.

I won't even post mine it's so bad.  I though being Canadian would help.  It did not.

Yeah. Glasgow.

I got 17 and I was born in England. Some of the questions had nothing to do with being English and a couple or three you would only know if you were an employer or working in HR. Typical government half cocked test.
