The Australian citizenship test is designed to assess whether you have an adequate knowledge of Australia, its democratic system, beliefs and values, and the responsibilities and privileges of citizenship.
The citizenship test is a computer-based, multiple choice test in English. It consists of 20 randomly selected questions; and as of 15 November 2020, it will also include five questions on Australian values. To pass the test, you must answer all five of the values questions correctly, with a mark of at least 75 per cent overall. You’ll have 45 minutes to answer 20 questions.
You’ll be tested on information in the official handbook, Australian Citizenship: Our Common Bond, included in this app - this is the only book recommended to prepare for the test. All the information you need to know to pass the citizenship test is in the first four parts of this book included in this app:
- Part 1: Australia and its people
- Part 2: Australia’s democratic beliefs, rights and liberties
- Part 3: Government and the law in Australia
- Part 4: Australian values
You will need to know and understand the information in the testable section to answer the questions in the citizenship test.
You will be tested with 20 questions, and you will need to answer 15 out 20 questions correctly or get a 75% to pass test.
