people are right in saying that when british people do not know the answers of these questions, why should overseas people remember crazy data about uk in percentages and history in 17th, 18th and 19th century.

Most british citizens don't even know the answers to these question we are expected to answer. I got most of my work colleagues (all british citizens) to take the demo test and they all failed. Just goes to prove how unnecessary some of these questions really are.

this is ridicul;ous,I don,t know the answers to most questions,how is someone from oversees supposed to know them.This test should be based around the do,s and don,ts,the law in general and how to conduct yourself in a mixed community.It,s a complete joje!

My Wife who has lived in the country for 14 years payed taxes into the system never needed to take a test to pay over £90,000 pounds in taxes which in turn has helped towards the elderly, infirm, disabled people in this country and all the long term state spongers. She did not need to take a test to do that .

I suppose that learning this information would show determination to enter, but most British people themselves would not be able to pass this test. Maybe remove some of the more irrelevant questions?

I believe that the test should not exist for those who can prove they have lived in the UK for 5 years plus, that run a business, pay tax, do not receive any benefits, speak English as their first language and from a Commonwealth country should not have to sit this insult of a test

Reading through the Life in Uk book. The book has got quite a bit of information in it and reading through it is quite knowledge gaining. My query here is, how much pass % is expected a britisher takes this test. I dont think even the people who are british by origin would answer many of those questions related to statistics in various areas. then why test for non british when britishers themself are not guarenteed to pass the test if taken?

The questions are far too hard, most British citizens couldn't answer them! It is just a way of limiting the number of immigrants who achieve permanent residency. If you fail, will they throw you out, even if married to a UK citizen? If so, that is a scandal!

What a waste of time! I'm English, a professional graduate and got one out of five. How does this show whether someone should be allowed in the UK. How about, can they speak English? This only shows someones ability to memorise some answers. Probably 95% of the British population should be deported!

Moat of the question on this test are so hard that the majority of the ENGLISH population don't know so I think is unfair that we have to. The questions should be about general english knowledge and about present issues. Why should we have to know the percentage between male and female population in England in the 1960's????

I totally agree. I am a British Citizen and I have no idea how may times native English speakers outnumber scotish/welsh people. The questions are RIDICULOUS and have NOTHING to do with what is relevant in todays society. It is just another government ploy to make money and exploit people who are potentially great assests to British society!

Moron..the issue is that the content is not known by 99% of native British so why should immigrants have to learn irrelevant, useless rubbish to become a citizen when the rest of the British population couldnt score 10% correct on the test?.

I really do not se the need for all this. these people contribute alot to our country and yet we take more from them. They pay for visas (which could be refused), they pay taxes like most of us (and yet are not allowed to claim any thing back like we do, most of these people do the jobs we ould not do. Surely we abuse them one way our the other and make their lifes difficult in every ay we can. If we go to thir countries they treat us better than we treat them. SURELY WHY ARE WE DOING THIS TO THEM? I say all this must stop!

Is that the best name you could come up with to pretend you are English? Considering your less than adequate grammer and spelling, I am assuming English is not your first language. Failed the test recently perhaps? That said, I do not blame you for hating the test as I only scored 7/12 which is terrible for a 38 year old Brit like me! I should be thrown out the country immediately! The test is a bit rediculous and I would only consider it valid if the vast majority of Brits scored 100%.

I was born in UK, I failed a sample test @45%,it's a disgrace to permanent residency citezens or other's status who already live and work in this country and contribute a great deal to this nation, but will be denied naturalisation by failing to answer some useless statitical questions. By July 2011 it'll be even worse with the new immigration law being introduced. I would suggest somewhere else like Spain with much easier immigration rules, and that's besides the fact that this countries on it's last legs anyway. GOOD luck, you'll need it. Q.Looking at the statistics how many people failed the free test on avereage? a. 86% 6. 75% c. 67% d 55% Answer - 86%.... see what I mean!!!

There shouldn't be so many questions about schools, grades, education systems, - what if I don't have children and am not planning to have any? Are we all considered just machines to procreate and increase British population?? It should be more neutral and only about things that apply to everybody, such as basic laws, freedoms, democratic values, etc. Testing me on knowledge about how to switch my phone provider?Who even invented that??!!!
