Got my citizenship test coming up, and have tried to learn the answers. Any hints and tips or is it a straightforward multi choice and then you're away?
If you don't get the pass mark can you retake on the day? It says you 'might be able to'

you would have to be a borderline imbecile to fail

The "snapshot" report on this page of the Citizenship website has some stats about this.

Unless they are really busy you can retake it straight away - did mine in Brisbane, there were only three of us there and we were told it could be done again on the day if necessary

Why? I've got an app on my iphone with the questions and have not got the required 75% on all occasions (and have to say my ozzie mates do far worse than me)

Dorothy

Yes, people do fail. If English is not your first language or you haven't studied for the test it's possible. But as Polly says, you can usually take another test straight away.

Nobody lived to tell the story perhaps?

I failed it

They gave me a New Zealand passport as a consolation prize though

I agree unless of course English isn't your first language. Both husband and I got 100%, it isn't rocket science if you read the book.

You are not supposed to get the lobotomy done until after you pass the test.

Just learn the mandatory ones. Be aware that you have to give up other citzenships if you want to be a member of govenment etc. Others you can guess if know rough dates, how many states etc.

I take it you're already a citizen then

roaringmouse

I only read the first part of the citizenship book, on which the test is based. Didn't bother looking at the rest of the book - just no point in doing so.

NedKelly

Thank you fisho, I knew I could rely on you.

I got 95% after struggling with a strangely worded question. My hubby got 100% and is bragging big time. But 45 mins to answer the questions? In and out of there in 5!
