I took the test and got all of the questions right......and only one of them was a calculated guess.
I do not really see their relevance to life in the UK.....it would be much more relevant to make sure these people had a good grasp of the English language, a job, somewhere to live, and the means to support themselves for at least two years without a recourse to benefits. But then that is too much to expect...isn't it??
It isn't anywhere else in the world Margaret, its only the good old UK where you can walk in and hold your hand out and have it crossed with gold, not even silver, no questions asked, try getting into the States or Australia even and see what they say, and it won't be welcome
