Free, independent practice for the citizenship test

What this site is, why it exists, and how we make it.

Updated Based on Our Common Bond

What this site is

Australian Citizenship Exam is a free, independent practice site for the Australian citizenship test. It offers mock tests marked with the official pass rule, topic practice, flashcards and study notes, all based on Australian Citizenship: Our Common Bond. It is not affiliated with the Australian Government.

What does the site do?

Why does it exist?

The pass rule catches people out: you need 15 out of 20 and every values question right. Reading the booklet is essential, but many people also want realistic practice before test day. We wanted that practice to be free, private and accurate, without a subscription.

The best preparation is still the official booklet. Home Affairs says Our Common Bond is all you need to prepare and does not endorse external courses or apps, including this one. Use this site alongside the booklet, not instead of it.

How is the content created and reviewed?

Questions and explanations are written in our own words from the testable section of Our Common Bond. Drafting is AI-assisted, and every question is checked against the source text. Each question links to the part of the booklet it comes from. The full process, including how we handle corrections, is in our methodology. Our sources page lists every official document we use.

Editorial principles

  • Source first

    Everything comes from the testable section of Our Common Bond. If the booklet doesn’t say it, we don’t test it.

  • Honest about limits

    We don’t have real test questions, we don’t predict your result, and we don’t publish claims we can’t verify.

  • Free for everyone

    No sign-up, no ads and no paywall. The official study material is free, so practising it should be too.

  • Private by default
