Guessed on 3 and 7 and got 'em wrong, also guessed on 4 and got one of those wrong. Ah well. Knew (or guessed correctly, in one case :P) the rest, though.

Ha! Then you've failed! You need to score around 75% to be a British citizen. :P

[storme]

Sounds about right. :) When do I get booted out, then?

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

If you can answer the following questions, you can gain citizenship to Athlum instead:

1. How hot is the Dave?
A - Not hot
B - Kind of hot
C - Hot
D - Very hot

2. Which of the following is Torgal NOT known for?
A - Being long suffering
B - Being David's bitch
C - Dancing on ice
D - Wearing very little clothes

3. Which of the following does NOT interest the Marquis of Athlum?
A - Split-end ears
B - The ass flag
C - Sparkles
D - Fake tan

You may begin.

[storme]

D, C, ...is this actually a trick question? I guess A, because it would make Torgal sad to compete. :P

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

The Dave wouldn't want to make Torgal sad. XD

[storme]

Did I pass?

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

You've passed with flying colours! Now you get to fly your bum flag for the Dave. :D

[kedi-kedi.livejournal.com]

orz...

I didn't get any right except 6 and 7 :(

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

XD! These are from the Official Citizenship Test Study Guide! You are the weakest link, goodbye! :P

(I couldn't answer most of them either.)

[kedi-kedi.livejournal.com]

Pffftttt, if we all got booted out then the UK will be left with a population of about 100 :P

[potter.livejournal.com]

This explains the reason for my lack of patriotism, anyway! I'm not British. :(

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

I'm not British either. =/

[jetsam]

Oooh dear. Going entirely without looking, as the inevitable wrong-answers will demonstrate...

1C
2D
3C
4B,D
5B
6D
7D

[jetsam]

So that's 4/7

Hey, that's more than half :D

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately you need to be about 75% correct!

[jetsam]

It is something of a joke, that test.

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Well, I did pick some of the strangest questions, but yeah, it is rather WTF...

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

You have not answered enough questions correctly. Please remain seated, the deportation officers will be with you shortly. :)

[quatorze.livejournal.com]

I got 4 of these right... and two very close, so does that make altogether 5 correct? :p

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

You've done way better than me!

[quatorze.livejournal.com]

Just good at guessing...

[lelola.livejournal.com]

...I only got one of these correct. ><;;;

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Actually it's the same for me, and I live in Britain!

[semishade (from livejournal.com)]

Fortunately, I have no need to pass the test. I automatically qualify!

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

XD You broke the game!

[semishade (from livejournal.com)]

Answers are in the test handbook anyway!

I'd be really good at questions about the powers of the devolved administrations, and non English official languages!

[schweinsty.livejournal.com]

Oh, hey, I got 5 right! :D *runs off*
