39 out of 40 right means I am worthy to be a Dane. Just as well, since I am one. *rolls eyes at silly government and their silly test*

They test your Dane worthiness??

What happens if you flunk?

Ooh, is there a link? I want to prove myself unworthy of being a Dane. Unfortunately, with my absorptive brain and ridiculous recall of trivial knowledge, I probably won't.

Nothing, if you're a Danish citizen already. If you want to be one, well, it means you're SOL.

DR has made a net-version available - you can find it by way of here: http://www.dr.dk/Nyheder/Indland/2007/02/27/111649.htm

You probably get to take the test again. I wouldn't be at all surprised...

It's not really as bad as the media is trying to make it. There is a test, to be taken if somebody wants citizenship. The test will consists of 35 questions, multiple-choice, taken from a standing pool of 200, and 5 about "current" stuff. You will study before the test is taken. In the end, 28 correct answers out of 40 will mean you pass.

Which all can be summed up to mean that if a person wants to pass the test, all they really have to do is sit down and memorize the 200 questions, which isn't really that unrealistic compared to all the stuff some people manage to stuff into their heads before exams, and maybe read a newspaper regularly. Truth be told, I fail to see what the test is supposed to be good for at the end of the day, since passing it won't really mean anything...

Damn, 35 out of 40. I guess I'm worthy after all. :P

And some of it is really basic stuff, like "what's the flag called" and "what do they do on St. Hans eve".

There, there, now - dry your tears. I'm sure it'll be alright. Don't take it so hard ;-)
