"How often do you leave the EU?" I have been to Canada for (a total of) four weeks (plus three weeks coming up this Christmas), and I have been to Chile for (a total of) seven weeks. Usually, I go abroad (outside of the EU) twice a year (summer and winter). And I'm not a rich Mummy's boy. I pay for it all myself with very unpleasant (refuse collection) part time jobs. Benja.

The best solution to idiots who cheat on the test is just to deputize someone to stalk this forum with a n00b-rifle taking out anyone who can't spell "authentication."

Lo. As a student of psychology and a former research assitant I can say with a certain amount of authority that the test is pretty good for its purpose. However:
The republican question is silly. I know of many intellectually strong teenagers who don't know jack about american politics. "A lot" is used incorrectly in the test. Observe -
"There are alot of sheep in my linguini."
"I have a lot on which I park my car". 'A' used alone is always an article. "A lot" means a piece of land. "Alot" means, well, alot of something  Having said that the test is still pretty good bearing in mind that the demographic it is being aimed it is extremely narrow I am not surprised that it performs so well. ciao

None would use "a lot" either. His point is legitimate about the grammatical function of 'a' in 'a lot'. Both phrases are generally limited to speech or non-formal writing. There are more widely used alternatives (mainly, 'many').

I've just read to up to page 5, so if something like thise was said on page 5, my bad....
Firstly That test seems a little unfair, For a start us europeans are at a natural disadvantage when it comes to awnsering questions about american politics, and even the question about europe stumped me for a minute or so......the one that got me was the question on word order, i worked out what two it wasn't so i then guessed. I really don't think math or science is really needed..... Also, Instead of test wouldn't a better system be like the one we have for "support" - show 10 posts of yada yada - couldn't we simply make this forum more 'elistist' is the same/similair way? I think that would be a much fairer system, at the end of the day my inteligence means little, its what i contribute what counts. so in assessing memebers would it be better for others to "nominate" members here?
