Comments about the Life in the UK Test

i think it should be much easier or even should be about other things

Shane Grant

I'm taking the test myself now and I really thought I knew so much about the UK Turns out I was wrong. All the same, surely there can only be a general benefit from more knowledge about the place you are living in.

I do not have to take this terst, as I am from the EU. However,I find the questions ridiculous! Most English people would not know these things!

questions cannot be answered by the locals

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!

It disgusting that I am tested on something that 99% of the native population could not pass. Its merely a money earner for this labour govermment

If one wants to become a citizen of a new country must have at least basic knowledge about this country and its people. And the only thing we can do is learn. That is it.

really hard !!!

[reply]

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!

ITS A GOOD IDEA

[reply]

The test should be abolished.

Lise Martinez

[reply]

A lot of the book is completely irrelevant to living in the UK. Some really ridiculous questions formed around beliefs that would not apply to a lot of English people. A really daft test.

nisa

[reply]

its very hard n completly useless

Dani

[reply]

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????

Sasha James

[reply]

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!

if you wnt to live in uk should now how the life in uk.

john

[reply]

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?.

L Dawkins

[reply]

What on earth does knowing what percentage of t5he UK is RC have to do with being a responsible UK citizen??????? Try asking - How many civilised countries did they avoid in order to get to the UK and why?

Titi

johneeasthanacyuood

[reply]

Thats cool. I agree

john Smith

[reply]

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!

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!!!

Its a pathetic way for the government to make money out of hard working people who are actually putting money into the Uk and who are already often settled in UK life. Its utterly pointless and should be scrapped. What amockery it makes of the UK

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??!!!
