How did you do in the citizenship test?
I'm just curious to know how easy or difficult people found the Citizenship test to be?
I fluffed one question (after initially choosing the correct answer and then changing my mind - Where Were The 1956 Olympics Held?) and I feel peeved that I didn't get full-marks.
What did other people get right and wrong? How hard did you study the book beforehand?

20 out of 20 in 90 seconds.
I read the book once - it's an interesting read btw.
It's so easy that only a retarded/mental/issues person could fail it.

Re: How did you do in the citizenship test?
Well, it's less than 12 out of 20 to be classified as retarded (not by me I hasten to add).
What annoys me is that I knew that book "back to front" except for my vague recollection of where the 1956 Olympics were held. Ask me about Phar Lap, Captain Matthew Flinders (Terra Australias Incognita), Queensland's single parlimentary house of the Legislative Assembly etc etc and I would have answered the question without hesitation.
Effing Murphy's law if you ask me.....

Re: How did you do in the citizenship test?
I got two wrong. One, I think, was about Australian colonies and how they worked after Jan 1901. I have no idea what the other one was because as soon as I submitted, the questions left my brain 
I took about 3 minutes because I reread them all before submitting. I was peed off I didn't get 100% but whatever, I passed
It's so easy that only a retarded/mental/issues person could fail it. That's a bit harsh. When I did mine the girl told me that 7 had failed the previous day. If you just get one wrong on the Responsibilities and Privileges section you fail so I think nerves could play a part, especially if English isn't your first language.
Saying that, yes you'd have to be fairly dim
