    And try walking into a hospital saying, 'I've got a letter from my GP'.

    Anyway 12/24 for me. I think any score between 8 and 15 should get you in. Perhaps 15 would allow you to live in a nice part of the country, with 10 limiting you to Northern Ireland or Scunthorpe, 9 to Devon and 8 to Wandsworth.

        You scored 16 out of a possible 24

        You have failed, the pass mark was 75% According to the Life in the UK Test, you have insufficient knowledge of the English language or of life in the UK to remain

        Bit of a worry

            I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong!

                  But then I've left already so I don't care.

                  Some of the questions might be said to have a somewhat tenuous connection to getting on with daily life in the UK.

                    The real life test itself was only created to keep the immigrant haters happy and passing it is mearly a hurdle (which only the chronically stupid will fall at), not a filter.
                    Then the Guardian (in their lefty wisdom) publish their online version to make it look like immigrants have more right to be here than natives, cause they've passed the citizenship test and we haven't.

                      hah! I've met a number of people who have "passed" the LIUK test (or equivalent ESOL course) and can't speak a word of English. Pay someone £300 and you have a bonafide certificate you can use within minutes.

                      Another waste of time, but it does make DC look good in that suit of his.
