"Alright, let's have a look...Congratulations, you passed the first test, although I did go easy on you. Normally I would have read it as it's written, not so slowly, and it was only forty-one words, not the full fifty. Now lets do the second test, which is in Dutch."
After 1909, these tests in different languages would continue until you failed. They could use any European language, even ancient languages no longer spoken such as Latin. Between 1902-3, forty-six people passed the test. Between 1904-9, 6 people passed. After the final changes to the test were made in 1909, not a single person passed the test. No matter how many languages you were fluent in, eventually you'd fail and be deported.
