Australian Citizenship Test practice tests

20 multiple-choice questions, with 45 minutes to answer them.

You need 15 of 20 correct, which is 75%.

The test is part of your citizenship application rather than a separately booked exam, so practising first saves you time rather than a second fee.

No. No government publishes its real exam questions. These are written from Our Common Bond, the official study guide the real questions are drawn from.

It is straightforward if you have read the material and unforgiving if you have not. You need 15 of 20 correct, so you can only afford 5 mistakes. Most people who fail have read the guide once and never tested themselves under time.

Sit one timed mock before you read anything. It takes 45 minutes and tells you which chapters are already fine, so you can spend your study time on the two or three that are costing you marks. Then drill those, and retest. Reading Our Common Bond front to back is the slowest route.

You fail the whole test. All 5 values questions must be correct, so scoring 19 out of 20 with one values question wrong is still a fail.
