100% here too, though I wasn't completely sure about the jury service one.

Am I the only one here who can't wait to see how bratty does? :P :lol:

Oh, by the way... The page wouldn't load in Chrome, so I had to use IE. Don't know if anyone else has had this issue, but I thought I'd share the info anyway...

All correct here too. Sadly, the questions are too obvious, but then these would be Tory pleasing questions - heritage, beating foreigners (esp. The French) at war and flags.

I'd prefer to see questions about proper life in the UK, show that they are able and willing to integrate properly. And a proper test of language. It's what I'd expect if I were to settle in a foreign land.

I only got 7. There were 3 I wasn't sure about, and bad luck I guessed the wrong answers. Specifically: the patron saint, the jubilee and the jury service questions.

Is that still a pass, or do I get to go live somewhere warmer now?

Only 90%.

I'm still not convinced that the Union Jack answer is correct.

I queried that one as well, as I understand it to be called the Union flag. However the question was what is it commonly known as?

A couple of those questions have been ripped from the Aussie citizenship test.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.
