So did I  :D, but still you are one point ahead of me, thus you have got more chances
(an English woman, who posted this link in yahoo group I'm a member of, managed to score 12 out of 24 only  :) )

12  out of 24. I haven't lived in England for 20 years.
I don't think I could pass the Australian citizenship test either though.

Don't be upset, you may always come to Russia  :D everyone seems to be welcome here due to huge number of immigrants in the streets and at Pulkovo 1 airport.

I agree with others here - the test is ridiculous as a measure to determine who is accepted for citizenship. It is far too easy - no wonder we have so many immigrants being granted citizenship.

It should include questions on the life of Shakespeare, nuclear fission, the World Tiddlywink championship, Mahler's Symphonies, Wayne Rooney's disciplinary record, Englands famous Rugby Football defeats, Wars won by the French, The hyundai model range etc.  That should sort the buggers out...... :evil:
