    5 out of 10 for me. It was a bit annoying that I had to scroll down to click on the next question button - small thing, but annoying.
    Interesting quiz.

    Worked fine for me. Didn't need to scroll down during the quiz at all, only needed to do this when reviewing the answers. Using Firefox and a 12" screen

    hopefully the screen scrolling problem will be far less pronounced now - we've managed to cut a bit of vertical height out of it

    Wouldn't have minded a travel quiz - I got;

    For Question 2, the first year nurse has a quoted salary £20,710
    The source given gives no pay points matching this value?
    http://www.nhscareers.nhs.uk/details/Default.aspx?Id=766

    For Question 3, you exclude PFI repayments from being debt, as for example described in the article below. This gives a impression that such repayments are not related to debt
    http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2009/jun/15/private-finance-initiative-pfi

    For question 6, I quote: "As the total government spending in 2008/09 is £620 million". This should be in billions, not millions.


    For question 9, where is your source of data?
    Quoted Source http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-files/Guardian/documents/2008/09/12/13.09.08.Public.spending.pdf
    NHS 90.7bn in 2008/09 out of Department of Health spending of 105.7 bn (=86%)

    Then more recent data also from the Guardian:
    http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2009/sep/16/public-spending-departments-money-cuts
    Puts Department of Health Spending at 109.4bn

    If NHS spending remained 86% of Department of Health spending, then NHS budget would be 94bn, closer to your answer of 97bn presented as the third option on the list.

    Also more generally, on page:
    http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/quiz/election/answers/
    The buttons for "Back", "Restart Quiz" and "Next Question Please" are poorly aligned

    I got 2/10, was very close on a few figures, but still got only 2 right.

    Questions Seem okay to me.
