It is if you decide to take it to court.

Also, there's an incorrect answer in the quiz.

"There is no place in British society for extremism or intolerance."

The answer given as correct is: True

However, the correct answer should be: False - the place for extremism and intolerance is the House of Commons.

Oh, I'm not disputing that it exists. However, would you honestly expect someone from an overseas country to know the answer to that question?

True - it could be a civil offence if you refuse to pay your debts.

But that wasn't the statement.

Most of us have owed money to banks, building societies, family or friends at one time or another. Owing money is not an offence.

A lot of the wording in that test is sloppy or loaded, apart from the bizarre choice of questions.

I’ve tried the Test 5 times this afternoon & passed only twice.
Some of the questions are truly ridiculous and some a total lottery.
The questions change with every attempt.
Try it. I think that many will get deported.

It seems a bit random. Are there study guidelines? I doubt many experienced drivers could pass the driving test questions without reading up on them first.

There can't be that many questions if so many people got the ski centre one.

Sounds like she didn't put the effort into revising.

Whats the return policy

I don’t know how anyone could get that ski centre one right? Bizarre, it’s hardly something you would associate with the uk?
How many football pitches might be more apt

True! Thought it would be interesting to have the link. But yeah I don’t imagine many people even know what Hansard is

A bit more relevant than the UK version.

I got 18 out of 20. Wrong on the 1st Amendment and wrong on the date of the Constitution.

Still a bit random though.

Wow. That's a really difficult citizenship test.

I will never forget the test I took when I got my American citizenship. I was asked, in the presence of a testing officer, to name the president of the United States, the name of the governor of my state, and to write on a piece of paper: "The American flag is red, white and blue."

And that was it.

I was ready to bang on about various articles and clauses of the U.S. Constitution and even to name all the presidents.

Very disappointing.

15 out of 24.

Would have scraped 18 but I second guessed myself on 3 answers and ended up getting them wrong.
