Australia · Citizenship test
Start with the free official booklet, Our Common Bond, and the free Home Affairs practice test. Every question on the real test comes from Parts 1 to 4 of that booklet. If you want more practice, the apps, websites, videos and classes below are the ones people actually use. Home Affairs doesn’t endorse any of the paid ones. We checked each one’s price and what you get for free in October 2026.
Every test question comes from Parts 1 to 4, the testable section, which is about 50 pages. The translations help you understand it, but the test is in English only.

Same format as the real test: 20 questions, 45 minutes, 5 values questions and the same pass rule. It’s a sample, so the real questions will be different.

Four episodes plus a bonus, about 10 minutes each, going through the booklet in clear, slow English. It’s on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts, and some episodes come in other languages too. SBS isn’t Home Affairs, so check the rules on the official site.

Plenty of channels read out practice questions and answers. Good if you learn by listening. They’re unofficial and some are old, so make sure they mention King Charles III, not the Queen.
