The official Australian Citizenship: Our Common Bond booklet is the primary study resource and is available through the Department of Home Affairs. This practice test is a good way to check your readiness before relying on the booklet alone.

Citizenship applications get complicated fast around residence absences, character requirements, and prior visa history. An AML migration lawyer can review your circumstances before you apply, so any issues surface early rather than after a refusal.

Passing the test is one part of the citizenship application process. You'll still need to meet other eligibility requirements and attend a citizenship ceremony if your application is approved. AML can guide you through the full process.

No. This practice test is free and based on the same source booklet and structure as the official test, but the actual test questions will differ. Use it to identify gaps in your knowledge before booking the real test.

There are limits on how many attempts you get and how soon you can retake it if you don't pass. A migration lawyer can advise on the current rules and what happens if you don't pass on your first attempt.

This practice test gives you 45 minutes, matching the time allowed for the official test.

The Department of Home Affairs treats the values section differently from the rest of the test, since it's assessing your understanding of the values underpinning Australian citizenship specifically, not just general knowledge.

You need a minimum of 75% overall, and you must answer 100% of the Australian values questions correctly. Missing even one values question means you don't pass, regardless of your overall score.

The real test has 20 multiple-choice questions, the same format used in this practice test. Real test questions will differ from this practice set, so use it to check your understanding rather than to memorise exact answers.

The official test is based on the Australian Citizenship: Our Common Bond resource booklet, covering Australia's people, democratic beliefs, government and the law, and Australian values. This practice test follows the same structure.
