Mock exam rules

How many questions are in the Australian Citizenship Test?
20 multiple-choice questions, with 45 minutes to answer them.
What is the pass mark for the Australian Citizenship Test?
You need 15 of 20 correct, which is 75%.
How much does the Australian Citizenship Test cost?
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.
Are these the real exam questions?
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.
Is the Australian Citizenship Test hard?
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.
How should I prepare for the Australian Citizenship Test?
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.
What happens if I get an Australian values question wrong?
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.
