I was browsing through the BBC website during my lunch break and saw the " Could you pass the 11-plus? " challenge so I thought I would have a go.  15 questions with a 10-minute timer.  Easy, right?  I almost applied for " Are You Smarter Than A 10-Year Old? " because I was a damn sight smarter than my own 10-year old at the time * out-of-context-smugness * So click on the link above ( opens in a new window ), take the test and then come back here to tell me how well you did or didn't do. I had a " I am SO going to run out of time here " for Questions 7 and 8 and a complete * head-desk * moment for Question 10 (which I got wrong) but here are my results. swot... oh yes I am The answers and explanations are available on this page when you have finished.   NO PEEKING !

I was pointed in the direction of the practice version of the UK Citizenship Test online last night ( yes, I was bored and it was mentioned in one of the questions on Channel 4's "Million Pound Drop" ).  This test covers aspects of British history, society and culture and is a requirement when applying for settlement in the UK or full British citizenship.  The test took me just over 7 minutes but you have a full 45 minutes if you need it.
