Citizenship test and interview Prepare for the citizenship test

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Prepare for the test​

To prepare for the test you should read the Australian Citizenship: Our CommonBond (OCB) resource booklet which is available in English and a range of community languages. The test is conducted in English only. All test questions are based on the OCB resource booklet.

You can also:

• listen to the Our Common Bond podcast
• do the citizenship practice test
• use the AMEPOnline​ citizenship modules.

The AMEPOnline citizenship modules help English language learners engage with the OCB resource booklet content through characters, storylines, and interactive learning material and activities.

Consider enrolling into the general AMEP Program if you wish to improve your English language skills to assist you with preparing for the test.

Questions in the citizenship test are based on:

• Australia and its people
• Australia's democratic beliefs, rights and liberties
• government and the law in Australia
• an understanding and commitment to Australian values based on freedom, respect and equality.

The Department does not endorse or recommend any external courses that claim to help you prepare for the citizenship test, including paid external apps.
