You're going to have to swear an oath to the Queen if/when you get naturalised, so you should start getting used to it now!first2last4 wrote:Not sure what are the questions related to.
If they are about the systems like 'Whats does A&E means' I dont mind taking it. But it they contain questions related queen etc... then it would be really irritating to waste time learning about them.
Thats my personal view.
Of course nobody really mean the swear. They do it as part of formality.darksquid wrote:You're going to have to swear an oath to the Queen if/when you get naturalised, so you should start getting used to it now!first2last4 wrote:Not sure what are the questions related to.

That said, the test is really so easy, they should be ashamed of themselves. Not to mention that the 'facts' covered in the Life in the UK book bear little semblance to the Britain we all live in day to day. Asking questions like 'who killed who in Eastenders?', or 'how much does a lottery ticket or a pint of milk cost?' would be far more indicative of assimilation of British culture than 'In what year was the Welsh Assembly formed?'
Oh, my...I was joking! Of course it's ridiculous....the whole THING is ridiculous. I don't even watch Eastenders, and I don't buy my milk in pints, so I wouldn't be able to answer either of those questions. But I was trying to make a point about how the facts you are forced to learn to take the test are no real indication of assimilating the British culture. It's a silly exercise to help appease the tabloid-reading immigration-hating masses.first2last4 wrote: Of course nobody really mean the swear. They do it as part of formality.
And whats this stupid quention about Eastenders ( I beleive this is a TV SOAP) . If India would have such test , I would never expect any foreigner to answer such ridiculous question like "What is Mihir's baa's name in 'Kyuki Saas bhi kabhi bahu thi'"??? utter ridiculous....
Put like that it is indeed confusing!jbinuk wrote:Thanks.
I read the book and at the same time practicing sample online questions. Before I took the test, I was hoping not to encounter questions about dates and percentages and I was lucky I didnt encounter any. Only the dates and percentages that I found confusing sometimes.. example:
1918 - year when women above the age of 30 were allowed to vote.
1928 - year when women with the same age as men were allowed to vote.
Are you scheduled to take the test? If yes, then goodluck.
