Ten on the UK test (but it is based on the contents of a book no-one has seen and which makes no sense) and 8 on the Australian one.

It's how Americans structure their school teaching, as best I understand, but the idea that it's spreading overseas is distressing. The technique has nothing to do with education and everything to do with producing lots of statistics very cheaply.

I got 9/14 for the English one.

The Australian one I did as badly as one might expect, not having had the book available beforehand:

I'm getting Mr Oscar to do the American one, (Just for my own fun) & i will do the Australian One.

Now that's impressive Skittles, I bet you spend even more time reading books than I thought you did. Not dropping even one is powerful stuff.

Thanksh oscar, but can I play it??? Heh heh.

I will try the Aussie one, but I probably wouldn't have a clue about some of the local stuff as the Aussies are not as ubiquitous in modern global culture as our American friends, I should try the British one, as I was born in Birmingham and therefore I can have British citizenship by birth if I choose, but can I pass the test????
