The 234 questions with answers

Questions people ask.

How many questions are in the Australian citizenship test?
20 multiple-choice questions, which you answer in 45 minutes on a computer. You need 15 right, and all 5 questions on Australian values must be right: miss one of them and you do not pass, whatever your score.
Who has to take it?
Most people applying for citizenship by conferral who are aged 18 to 59 when they apply. Children and people aged 60 or over do not sit it, and some people with an incapacity are exempt.
How do I book it and what does it cost?
You do not book it yourself: after you apply, the Department of Home Affairs sends you an appointment. There is no extra fee — the citizenship application fee covers the test.
What happens if I fail?
Home Affairs books another appointment for you at no extra cost. After several unsuccessful appointments your application can be refused, so it pays to prepare.
What does the test cover?
The four testable parts of Our Common Bond: Australia and its people; Australia’s democratic beliefs, rights and liberties; government and the law in Australia; and Australian values.
Are these the real test questions?
No. The real questions are not published. Ours are written by us on the facts of Our Common Bond, which all test questions come from, and each one was checked by an independent reading and against public sources.
