some of the questions are ridiculous. whether sports uniforms are free in schools... i mean seriously, wtf does that have to do with basic civics knowledge.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

10/24

 

[DivideBYZero]

<- British citizen by birth.

I don't need to know how many millions of under 18's are in the UK< or what % of the population identify themselves as Muslims.
Most citizenship tests seem to be full of useless things.

Man, a lot of these questions seem really useless.

 

[Dumac]

Less than 50% on the UK test

Missed one on the US test.

But that is to be expected, since I live in the US and not the UK.

 

[TallBill]

7 out of 24 correct

Time take: 1 minute, 9 seconds.

 

[AstroManLuca]

I also got 11/24.

Oh well, I got 100% on the US citizenship test, which is the only one that matters anyway.

 

[sandorski]

33% woot, Guessed on most.

 

[Glitchny]

I failed, but i thought I would since I'm from the US. But I have a question... why is the speedlimit question in MPH? shouldn't it be km? Confused the hell outta me. Also why the hell is census info held as secret for 100 years???

 

[rivan]

12/24 (50%)

Failed

 

[Ultralight]

Fail. 11/24 and I don't even know how I got 11 correct.

 

[Epic Fail]

I have good teeth, there is no way I can pass.

Why would we have our speed limit in km/h?
This is the UK, not mainland Europe.

In Britain they don't just use metric like the rest of the world or just standard like in the US. They use a combination. Also, a lot of the things that they don't measure in metric use "Imperial" measurements rather than American standard ones (for instance, 1 Imperial gallon = 1.2 US gallons).

In short, it makes the American system look rational and organized by comparison.
