topcat(The most tip top) Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 I'm just thinking of all those people in those camps in Calais who are being denied access to the UK because they thought the UK had hosted the Summer Olympics four times. Stupid idiots. Should have researched the matter first before attempting the test. This is for people interested in citizenship or permanent residence as opposed to asylum or even visas.Easy mistake to make but I still have to dock you a point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 It occurred to me that you could really cut back immigration by making this much more difficult. For example: "David Beckham scored 85 goals for Man United but what was his mother-in-law's middle name?" Then again, I am not sure I like the idea that the only people getting in are those that actually know the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 It turns out the French have got one too http://www.lefigaro.fr/assets/pdf/Questionnaires%20naturalisation.pdf Article in Le Figaro http://www.lefigaro.fr/actualite-france/2012/01/31/01016-20120131ARTFIG00419-naturalisation-des-questions-d-histoire-pour-les-etrangers.php and in English (but the correct answers are ticked) http://www.lefigaro.fr/international/2012/02/01/01003-20120201ARTFIG00409-how-to-ace-the-french-citizenship-test.php Can you answer these questions? “Edith Piaf was: a singer? A cycling champion? A bird specialist?” “Who do you associate with the Arc de Triomphe? Napoleon? General Charles de Gaulle? Julius Cesar?” Or, how about: “Le Mont Saint Michel is located: in the Mediterranean? On an island in the Seine? In Normandy?” If you can answer these, congratulations, you are on the right track to earning French citizenship. Questions like these will be part of roughly 60 test questions given to foreign candidates for French nationality.English version of the article from Le Figaro, with translations of loads of questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 North Korea has one too. Questions include: "Who was the greatest golfer?" "Who was the greatest chef?" "Who was the greatest mountain climber?" "Who was the greatest gardener?" "Who was the greatest poker player?" "Who was the greatest poet?" In every case, the correct answer is Kim Il Sung.

When do I get my certificate? The French questions seem slightly easier (apart from being in French) I got 18 from the first 20 They only do 3 options in the multiple choice so when you can spot that one of them is palpable nonsense you’ve already got a 50:50 chance You'll need to pass a French language exam as well although apparently If you've got DELF (Diplôme d'études en langue française) B1 or above then you're exempt from the test. That's a fair bit tougher than Higher French but a lower bar than I expected. It basically means you can read sports journalists but not necessarily novels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Done 3 tests. 16, 17, 22. Majority of it is completely irrelevant to modern UK living. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Q4. Is it true that Edith Piaf pished herself on stage while singing "Je ne regrette rein."? 1. Oui. 2. Non. 3. Peut etre. 4. Shrug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 This quiz is full of shit. The Church of England is not known as the Episcopal Church in Scotland. They are different denominations that are both part of the Anglican Union. The Church of England is called the Church of England in Scotland and the USA. The bronze age and Australia also have nothing to do with "life in the UK". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
