Poppylicious — it's very comforting to know there's someone else to share the bottom of the citizen list with me.

Yep, we can be thickies together!  I was going to add that had the questions for the American citizenship test been styled more like ours (and had been less about the Constitution) I would probably have correctly answered more, but then I realised that would be a silly thing to say considering I did so badly in the British test. 

D'oh!

54% on the Pommy test.

I'm ashamed I only got 90% on my own Aussie one, but I reckon I was correct on the two they say I got wrong.

Have a go at it folks - www.australiancitizenshiptest.net.

Some of the questions were pretty obvious though  though.  I won't make any wise ass cracks I promise.
I'll have to go and look to see if we have one on line.

Well, NZ doesn't have one.  You don't sit a test, you just fill in a form and have to meet certain criteria.  Never mind, I'll just have to work harder on the US and UK ones...

Could you pass the latest citizenship test?

In October 2008 a new version of the U.S. citizenship test will be taken by all applicants. Could you pass it? The questions are usually selected from a list of 100 samples that prospective citizens can look at ahead of the interview. Some are easy, some are not.

go to http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25461301/?GT1=43001

I got 60%  :P

I got 95%, I guess reading all those books about history sunk in after all.

I found a German citizen test! Click for test

30/33 right first time, so I could become a Deutch err German.

The Krauts must be having a hard time finding friends because (1) the test is in English, not German and (2) if you get an answer wrong you can have another go until you get it right.  :yahoo;
