Aspiring citizens answer 40-question test to determine if they’re worthy of Danish citizenship

About 3000 hopefuls yesterday took the national knowledge test that must be passed to obtain citizenship in this country.

To get citizenship, they had to answer 32 of the questions correctly. The questions are about the Royals, rights, culture, geography, economy, religion and current events.

Ok, took the test (and passed by the narrowest margin), but was wondering about those questions I didn't get right. How can I see which ones and more importantly the correct answers?

The answers are at the end (but you have to go through all the questions again).

After all the complaining I've heard about this test being so impossible, I was surprised at how easy it was.

Took the test and failed with only 29 correct answers.

I think the test is not that hard.

I answered correctly 29 out of 40 qustions.
It's a good result considering that I didn't prepare at all, I've been living here for less than 3 years and it took me only 8 minutes to finish the test.

Will not stay here for 7 years though to take the real test ...
