Hubby and I are off to do ours this week, I need to do some homework, has anyone got the link to the free online website that you can test yourself on.......cheers

Have you got the booklet? You need to read that, I think the web address is in it...

Don't worry about it it's easy. I did mine 2 weeks ago and spent exactly no time revising. The test took all of 3 minutes and I got 100%. Anyone with a pulse can pass the test. I heard someone having the interview now that sounded much harder. Glad all I had to do was pass a test.

Thanks for the replies, I am still looking for the website, I may be a bit rusty on aussie history!

www.citizenship.gov.au

These are some of the questions that could be asked according to the book

Thanks for the help, I now have the link..http://aussietest.com/test/index.php you have to get a user name, I have just got 19/20!!!!!!

How did you get the test appointment but not get the booklet? I was sent one after making the appointment.

Shamefully, I disagree, I think revision is essential, I got 95% but would have had no idea about Ozzie cricketers (Bradman) and Banjo Patterson. I took the book on the bus and revised on the way there, the jorney was an hour long. I really dislike history so for me revision was essential. My 17 year old had the interview and it was VERY much harder.
Good luck, just remember it is quite hard to fail as you only need 60% to pass.

Here you go Jackie, the link to the books you need to read. Good luck with it
