8 out of 10 - missed out on the ISA question as I didn't read through to the last option, which I would have known was the right one, and didn't know the Inheritence Tax threshold!0

7 out of 10, though not that disappointed since I got the credit card APR, inheritance tax and winter fuel questions wrong...all subjects I have never had exposure to since I always pay my monthly credit card in full, have never received an inheritance and am not entitled to winter fuel..."Who throws a shoe, honestly?"

I got 8 right too - with the same 2 wrong

I got 9 out of 10..........
I got the Stamp Duty question wrong, which shows how much attention I pay to what's going on around here :eek:'In nature, there are neither rewards nor punishments - there are Consequences.'0 -
Oooh, I got 7. I'm quite pleased with myself, and can guarantee that before I joined MSE I'd have a score of 3 or below!0
