Advice on citizenship test.
 

my wife and I are sitting the Australia citizenship test at the end of April.

Any advice from anyone would be great.

Read the booklet but still a bit nervous about the test.

Many thanks x

If you've read the booklet you'll be fine, My mate didn't even do that and she got 17/20 yesterday and even she admits that she's not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

I think she only just passed.

You need more than 16/20?

Thanks:thumbup:

Yes, there's a good 'cramming guide'
For some reason I can't cut and paste the link though :o

Yup and you also need to get all the questions right in the Rules and requirements of being a citizen section right. Get even one wrong in that bit and you fail. Just relax, and remember to go back and check all the questions carefully once you've finished.

I thought you only needed to get 60% right, which is only 12 out of 20. Although you have to get the 3 questions on rights and responsibilities right. So, if you got those 3 right and about 9 others to make the 12 then you should still pass.

Honestly though, nothing to worry about. I was very nervous to do the test but it was really, really easy. A lot of the questions had multiple choice answers where common sense would let you figure out which was the right one. If you've already read the book I would put it away and take it out the day or two before the test. Just read it through again to be safe, you probably don't need to but I imagine you'd feel better.

Here's the thread that charlie-k mentioned:

The cramming guide is on page 4.

Also, if you fail it, you can walk right back in again and sit it again - well, they let my wife do that [one of the mandatory pass one's wrong] and she passed it then.

I asked them that question when I wrote it, they said no problem that I could take it again if needed while I was there. Also, they have a one page sheet that summarizes the rights and responsibilites so you can read through that again if needed.

It's not like you're going to run out of time. 45 mins is the max. time they allow - not sure what I was meant to do with the other 43 mins. Probably thought I was doing the BE Funtrivia Quiz. :lol:

Seriously though - there's plenty of time for you to go back and read the questions again and double check your answers.

My hubby and I did our test yesterday and both passed, he got 100%, I got one wrong. We made sure we were well prepared for the test, and never just read through the book once, but a few times. The pass mark is 60% as Comet555 has said, but you then have those 3 madatory questions.

Good luck for your test at the end of April!
