[kosoro]

Well done smouse... Cheers

Your question prompted me to do it online. I have just finished got 57 better than I thought

[shaneystar]

Just did it on line scored 57. Better than I thought too!!

[forgetfultel]

Just took it online - scored 55, but I mis-clicked on one I knew, because I was rushing it a bit.

Thought I'd do better than that!

I think you're all amazingly tolerant! I'd never seen any of their earlier 'Test The Nation' quizzes, so I thought I'd have a go at taping and watching this one. When they hadn't reached even Question 1 after ten minutes of pointless waffle, I fast-forwarded and heard the first dozen or so. That was enough for me, I'm afraid. The presenters and their presentation was - in my opinion - utterly atrocious. Never again...but what the hey!..well done to those of you who scored highly.

Hey.... I got 58. I was quite chuffed with myself.

[Quizmonster]

Oh, dear! I made a mistake in English whilst criticising a quiz about the subject! I should, of course, have used 'were' after 'presentation' and not 'was'! 
(Thought I'd better point that out before anyone else did.)

[shaneystar]

Do it on line Quizmonster.No waffle there!!

[dwil]

got 60 but didn't agree that the understanding rounds were about English - more about auditory memory.

I agree with dwil, the observation questions were nothing to do with understanding the English language.  Got 50/70 on the night but my scores got lower as my Stella intake went up!!

[Pat Martin]

I got 55 and beat my 30 year old daughter. Looks like 30 year olds didn't do too well.

[genius55]

I got 60 but I teach english so perhaps i should have done well. What let me down were the questions where you needed a good memory, nothing to do with english!

I didn't see it on the day so I missed all the waffle when I took it on-line this evening (Mon).  I too got 57 but had hoped to do better than that.  Fortunately though, I am not an English teacher so there is was no sense of shame. I agree about the understanding rounds - I had competition/interference from the TV (wife watching) and didn't do so well on those.
