Why Applicants Struggle with the Citizenship Test
Failing to adequately prepare is a common reason for not passing the Australian Citizenship Test, leading to delays in your citizenship journey. While resources like “Our Common Bond” are available, understanding the nuances of Australian values, history, and civic responsibilities to a testable standard can be challenging.
Simply reading the material may not be enough. Ensuring you can correctly interpret and apply knowledge, especially for the crucial values-based questions, often benefits from structured guidance to build confidence and avoid retakes.
The Citizenship Interview Option
While most applicants sit the computer-based test, some individuals may not be required to. Instead, they might attend an interview with a Department of Home Affairs officer.
This interview still aims to assess if they understand what it means to become an Australian citizen and have an adequate knowledge of the responsibilities and privileges involved. Our lawyers can assist you with determining your eligibility for this alternative pathway.

Core Knowledge for the Citizenship Test
The citizenship test assesses your understanding of Australia’s democratic beliefs, rights, liberties, government, legal system, and national symbols. It also evaluates your knowledge of Australian values based on freedom, respect, and equality.
A basic grasp of the English language is also a component. The official resource “Australian Citizenship: Our Common Bond” covers the testable material, forming the basis of your preparation.
The Citizenship Test: What to Expect
The Australian Citizenship Test is typically a computer-based, 20 multiple-choice question exam. A key requirement is to answer all 5 questions on Australian values correctly, and achieve an overall score of at least 75% to pass.
While there’s no extra fee for the test itself (it’s part of the application fee), and you can retake it if needed, each attempt means more time until your citizenship progresses. Understanding the test structure and scoring priorities is vital for first-time success.
