So did I!!!!!!

Never heard of "Ulster Scots" and many of the questions were somewhat odd and quite irrelevant. Still at least I will never have to do it.

It would help if they showed the correct answers, if only for reference.

You can see the answers when you've finished. I think it says "Test Summary"

Most of it doesn't even relate to modern day life in the UK. Only thing I could think of was to see if you had done any homework on the UK.
