Citizenship Test Questions
Hi All
Firstly, apologies if this is the wrong section but thought it was more Immigration orientated than General.
I have searched on this topic and found many threads on Citizenship Applications but not the test.
I have booked my test which is in a couple of months time and have been swotting up on the 50 page document available online. Prior to booking the test I did the 5 sample questions and passed.
My question, has anyone sat the Citizenship test and could provide a bit of an insight into the questions asked please? I am assuming as the test caters for non native English speakers, old and young etc, it isnt going to be super tricky but none the less, I would like to ensure I am absorbing the correct quantity of information.
Any help appreciated.
Many thanks

Re: Citizenship Test Questions
Just read the booklet a few times and you should be fine. The test isn't hard and the sample questions on the web are in the format used in the test. We each read through the booklet a few times then completed the test with 100% in a couple of minutes. As with any multi choice test the trick is to ead the question properly, then think of what the answer should be and validate what you though by finding the answer in the choice you have. If you don't know eliminate the ones you know are wrong and take a guess.
The only 3 you have to get right are the ones around rights and responsibilities, of the remaining 17 you need to get 9 right (to give an overall 12 out of 20).

Re: Citizenship Test Questions
Excellent, thanks for your reply. I have been through uni so am no stranger to study but just useful to know I am on the right track.
Any further info on the rights and responsibilities area please? Is it things like voting and things as a citizen you must obey/abide by?
Thanks for the help.

Re: Citizenship Test Questions
For those interested, I sat the test on Thursday and got 100%.
There were a number of questions that I only learnt through reading the literature provided online such as the first Australian Prime Minister. There are 200 questions in the pool and 20 selected at random.
It did take about 5 minutes but I went back and read each one again.
I spent probably a month reading the provided literature which may have been overkill but paid off in the end. Most questions were fairly obvious and anyone in doubt should take into account the non English native tongue applicants etc who it has to cater for.
In summary, it isnt hard to pass but you definately need to read the literature first to prepare you.

Re: Citizenship Test Questions
Test is more than simple. The handbook provided free-of-charge is sufficient and questions are quite easy. No detailing, just things that common sense tells you to remember.
I finished the test in 3 min 07 secs and had 100%

Re: Citizenship Test Questions
Me and my OH are taking our test in a few weeks time, will we go in together to sit the test or seperately? And am i right in assuming its a computer based test?
Thanks

Re: Citizenship Test Questions
Remember to take your citizenship application with you which can be lodged at the same time (if you pass).
Although many questions are common sense, some are designed to trip up a little someone who has not read the resource book. I doubt many people would pass the test without ever reading it and having an awareness of Australian history. But its easy enough.

Re: Citizenship Test Questions
Yes its computer based. If you have the same appointment times it means that you go into the office first together and will get interviewed to take scans of paperwork, photos and the like. Then taken into the test room where is a supervised computer multi choice click test. You get told immediately after you have submitted it on screen if you have passed.
