About the Australian Citizenship Test
What you need to know before exam day.
Format
You have 45 minutes to answer 20 multiple-choice questions in English. To pass, you need at least 75% (15 of 20) overall and must answer all 5 Australian values questions correctly.
Source material
The official test is based on the testable section of the Australian Citizenship: Our Common Bond resource published by the Department of Home Affairs.
Four sections
Australia and its people · Democratic beliefs, rights and liberties · Government and the law · Australian values.
Australian values rule
Even if you score 75% or higher, getting any Australian values question wrong means you fail the test. We highlight this rule throughout the platform.
