For what it is worth, the one that catches out most Aussies (and me) is that EACH state has its own constitution.

Having done the test, the report only serves to confirm my opinion that the test is basically an english language comprehension test.

Interesting that for the 2009-2010 year, 6 poms failed the test.

Come on, own up - who was it?

Cheers

Bullshit - I passed it but my wife failed purely on a mandatory question about whether you have to renounce foreign citizenship to stand for parliament. She walked out, walked back in again and passed it 10 mins later.

Haven't been mandatory questions on the test for over 2 years now.

Download and print off the pages of the book that are relevant to the test. It takes about an hour to read and is very, very basic.

If you revise there is no reason you won't get 100% unless (as others have said) English is not your first language.

The booklet is a good read if only because it's so funny.
