Anyone taken the life in the UK test?

Well, i'll be happy to get rid of my study aides after tomorrow, I hope. If anyone wants they, they're going free...

If you're bringing them along anyway and no one else is taking the test before me I'll 'av 'em.

That's just for the visa, for indeffinate leave to remain.

Next year I can apply for citizenship, for a further 600 some odd pounds.

I can't even tell you how much money I spent on a fiancee visa, a marriage visa, airfare to LA to sort of visa paperwork...

it's fairly depressing.

Yeah, in the book there's some official figures for how few young people are interested in politics, only half the voting popultation under 25 actually voted, for example.

the most annoying thing for me was i spent £10 fro the book and all my questions came from 1 paragraph

Are all the answers to the questions found in one book then?
If that's the case I'll smash it.. my cramming (leave it will!) for exams skills were legendary.

Yeah, all the answers are in the book that the government issues....and it reads like a government issued book.

a 145 page government issued book....yawn...

speaking of yawn, I'm going to get some rest so I can at least make it through this damn thing tomorrow.

Wish me luck...

Good luck!

Good luck!

good luck!

I got 75%! I'm proper British me. 'ave a banana! gov'nor

84% and I'm not English!

You have to pass Nhatt....i need your scissor skills...:)
Good luck...you'll walk it!

100% - though hardly any of those questions are relevant to life in the UK, and in any case shouldn't be a test, but more a leaflet of handy facts.

I passed.

I passed.

In which case, may I be the first to congratulate you?

Congratulations.

Thank you thank you thank you.

I celebrated with some morning beer, and I feel much better now.

Hippy, lemme know when you'll be about and I'll pass the book your way.

congrats! that test is ridiculous. my dad just about managed to get a british passport before the test was introduced, if he had taken it i'm sure he would have failed even through he's lived in london since 1964, haha. i only just got 19 questions right and i was born here. what kind of question is "Which is the largest descent after the Indian descent?"????????????

It's just a poorly worded question. 'Pakistani' is the next largest ethnic group in the UK, hence it's the answer to the question, but I'm glad they don't word their questions like that in the actual test...

'grats Nhatt.

When was this stuff introduced? I got my citizenship in 2006 without any issues, and then a visa (ILE/ILR, or whatever) for my gf in 2007. Took them one day to approve it and she didn't have to do anything more than prove we had lived together and fork out the dough.

Scored 79% though.

seems like a lot of bother.

Nhatt, can't you just marry a rich Englishman then kill him once you're in?

Told ya you'd walk it...Well done Nhatt.
Does this mean i now can't exploit you when you come to help me out? :(

well done Nhatt!

(I got 65%=FAIL!)

@ Scott- you can exploit me any time you want, baby

@ RPM- I did marry an englishman, without doing that all the tests in the world couldn't help me stay here.

How the hell is anyone meant to know whether more people attend church in Scotland than England? I mean, really.

And as for "The main aim of the European Union is to become a single market" that already happened in 1992 and everything since is about federal political union.
