You have failed the practice citizenship test.

Questions answered correctly: 15 out of 24 (63%)

Time taken: 04 minutes 36 seconds


So I'm still top of the class then even though I failed?



Yes...You are the leader of the test taking failures...They will be coming soon to deport you to an uncharted island.



I took it yesterday and got 16 correct, mostly lucky guesses.

But I still failed. :(


Newsflash, Labbie: since the early 70s in the USA, 65 (or even 60) and above is considering passing. :)


The test said I failed, so I failed. I don't know what percentage you need to pass it, I'm guessing 75%-80%.

grade boundary normalisation


You mean fiddling the results to make a school look better than it really is?

I once scored 104% on a class math test. I think there was some grade boundary normalisation going on there.


I had some tests that I got 100% and then the extra work made it 110 or 115% in one class.

I scored 148 on a Mensa practice test a couple of years ago. You need 150+ to join.

I just failed the British Citizen test with a score of 11.

See how well you do: UK Citizenship test


I just scored 11 also. Since I'm American and have never even been to the UK, I don't feel too bad, although I would have thought that watching Torchwood might have helped a bit more. sigh...

Never took the MENSA test, which someone else mentioned. I might have, except that a long-ago ex with delusions of grandeur took it and failed, and then told me it was because the test was screwed up. Riiiight....
