I’m always amazed by what is considered necessary knowledge in a citizenship test. I am British and I “passed”, but I don’t know how many constituencies there are, nor do I care, nor has it ever been necessary for me to know! Many of the others also seem like random trivia rather than key knowledge for being a successful and integrated citizen.
I agree about the random trivia. I've seen the US test, and I recall it's much more focused on history and the nature of the US government. This test seems to dip into the realm of pub trivia. Very odd.
Although I had over two minutes to spare with the constituency question so kept guessing until I got it right. I knew it had to be around that number when the Scottish Welsh etc constituencies are taken from the 650 in the UK overall.
Not getting why there's a question about lent there though. Isn't that a season observed by Christians worldwide?
On a separate note I feel as if we should be focusing more on cultural integration rather than peoples ability to study and regurgitate information.
Not bad for someone who isn't British.
