I got 12/24! Not bad for a Yank who didn't study.

Actually, using good old SAT logic works well with this test. Look at the responses and ask yourself ... which of these things is not like the other, what looks like it might be a trick answer, etc.

21/24 passed! what stupid! stupid! questions! hardly anything about the real UK! the divorce question??? does it matter 2009! hansards??? who gives a F! by elections, they are called you are informed, you turn up and give your vote, or not as the case maybe! Muslims % again ???? I think I only did so well as I worked in Occupational Health which was part of Human resources in my hospital so as a nurse I had these facts drummed into me! but totally pointless in most cases, why should I give a f! about ulster scots?? I got that right but only as it was a 50/50! and the european parliament got that right as I visited as a teenager when doing my business studies course, lucky break!
