Common questions
How many questions are in the Australian citizenship test?
The practice format used by AusMockTest follows the common citizenship test format: 20 multiple-choice questions. Users should always check the Department of Home Affairs for the latest official requirements.
How long is the test?
The citizenship test is commonly described as a 45-minute test. AusMockTest uses a 20-question mock test flow to help practise timing and recall.
What score do I need to pass?
You should aim for at least 75% overall. In AusMockTest, the mock test result also separately checks Australian values questions because they are critical.
Do I need all Australian values questions correct?
Yes. The Australian values questions are the highest-priority area. AusMockTest marks these questions clearly and provides a dedicated values practice mode.
Is the real citizenship test in English?
Yes. The real test is conducted in English. AusMockTest keeps English first and uses Chinese only as a study aid when selected.
What should I study?
Study the official Australian Citizenship: Our Common Bond material, especially the testable section covering Australia and its people, democratic beliefs, rights and liberties, government and law, and Australian values.
Is AusMockTest an official government app?
No. AusMockTest is an independent educational and reference tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to the Australian Government or the Department of Home Affairs.
Why use mock tests?
Mock tests help you practise reading English questions, checking speed, identifying weak areas, and repeating Australian values questions until you are confident.
