Frequently Asked Questions
How many questions are on the Australian citizenship test?
The test has 20 questions. You need to answer at least 15 correctly (75%) to pass. All 5 questions about Australian values must be answered correctly — there's no partial pass on that section.
How long do I have to complete the test?
You have 45 minutes. Most people finish well within that time. Our practice tests help you build speed and confidence so you're not rushing on the day.
What happens if I fail the citizenship test?
You can resit the test. There's no limit on how many times you can try, but you'll need to book a new appointment. Most people who prepare properly pass first time.
Is the citizenship test available in other languages?
The test is conducted in English. An interpreter can assist with the interview portion of your citizenship appointment, but not with the test itself.
