Australian citizenship test practice, part by part

Twenty multiple-choice questions in 45 minutes, on a computer, in English. The Department of Home Affairs says the questions are drawn from the testable section of Australian Citizenship: Our Common Bond, and five of the 20 are about Australian values. The app's mock tests use the same 20 questions and 45 minutes.

Fifteen correct answers out of 20, which is 75%, and all five Australian values questions correct. Both conditions apply, so 19 out of 20 fails if the wrong one was a values question. The app marks every mock against the same two conditions.

Yes. The Department's wording is that you must answer 5/5 (100%) of the Australian values questions correctly, on top of the 75% overall. They come from Part 4 of the booklet, which is the shortest part, and the app gives it ten lessons and 97 practice questions for that reason.

Most applicants for citizenship by conferral aged 18 to 59. Applicants under 18, aged 60 or over, or with a permanent or enduring physical or mental incapacity may have an interview instead, at which the Department confirms identity and may ask you to show you understand the application.

There is no separate fee and you do not book it. The citizenship application fee, AUD 595 for general eligibility from 1 July 2026, includes the test, and the Department invites you to an appointment at one of its offices after you apply. Bring photo ID or the appointment is moved.

No. The real questions are not published, and the Department says even its own practice test uses different questions from the ones you get on the day. The app's 357 questions are written from the booklet's testable section, each with an explanation and a source reference, which is where the real ones come from too.

Your application continues and your permanent residence is untouched. The Department arranges another appointment, and because the application fee includes the test there is no charge for sitting again. Its pages do not say how many attempts you get; guides and news reports describe limits, and the guide below sets out which is which.

Lessons, questions and mock tests are stored on the device, and offline access is part of Premium. Your progress is kept on the phone rather than in an account, so there is nothing to sign up for.

No. It is an independent educational app built by Vishwen Labs, not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the Department or any government body. The Department endorses no external app, including this one, and says its free booklet is all you need. The facts on this page come from the Department; the lessons and questions are the app's own.
