Criteria for taking the Australian citizenship test<\/h2>\n

In order to take the Australia citizenship test, you must be a permanent resident of Australia and you must have applied for Australian citizenship. This test is part of your citizenship application process.
\n
\nOnce you applied for Australian citizenship, if you are eligible for the citizenship test, you will receive a confirmation letter or email giving you all the information you need to know about your test: your test center location, your test date, the documentation you will need to present on the day of your test, and so on.<\/p>\n

Cost of the Australian citizenship test<\/h2>\n

The citizenship test does not cost any extra money. The test fees are included in your general citizenship application. You also do not need to pay extra to take the test more than once.<\/p>\n

Format of the Australian citizenship test<\/h2>\n

The citizenship test is multiple-choice test of 20 questions, which means each question will be presented with 3 possible answers and you must choose the answer you think is correct. The test is only in English, so you will need a basic understanding of English to pass the test. The test has a pass mark of 75%, which means that you need to answer correctly 15 questions to pass the test.
\n
\nMost people will take the Standard Test, which is computer-based (see exceptions here<\/a>) and has a time limit of 45 minutes. During the test, you can be helped with the use of a computer if you are not familiar with it.<\/p>\n

Australian citizenship test study material<\/h2>\n

The test questions are based on the testable section of the resource book Australian Citizenship: Our Common Bond<\/em>. You have to memorize all facts contained in this testable section as nobody knows for sure which questions are going to appear on your test.
\n
\nUPDATE: The Australian government wants to implement a new citizenship test. Subject to the passage of legislation, this new test will still have questions from the study guide, \u201cAustralian Citizenship: Our Common Bond\u201d, but will also include new questions about the applicant\u2019s understanding of and commitment to Australian values.
\n
\nThe new potential questions will test migrants for example on their views about gender equality and religious freedom. The new questions will include issues such as violence against women and children, female genital mutilation and forced marriage.
\n<\/p>\n

Australian citizenship test rules<\/h2>\n

During the test, you cannot refer to the resource book, or any other resource material.
\nYou will not be able to speak to anyone except the test administrator.
\n
\nAfter completing the test, the computer screen will notify you if you have passed or failed the test. You will be able to take the test again, possibly the same day.
\n
\nIf you have passed the Australian citizenship test, your test result will be automatically transferred to your citizenship application file. You will need to wait for the overall result of your citizenship application process.
