I got 13

And the one I got wrong I dispute.......you better make sure the lawyer has information in the area you need otherwise it is big waste of money whatever your pay

The thing is this test is very like all the others you get in lots of countries, including things like the driving test - read the book memorise the answers and repeat at a single time.

Do all you Aussie Citizen remember all the responsibilities you have about being a citizen - no cheating! I have to learn mine soon.
