What is the Australian Citizenship Readiness Check exam?
Australia’s citizenship test is the live Department of Home Affairs knowledge exam for most applicants. Officially it is typically 20 questions in 45 minutes with a 75% overall pass mark plus a mandatory Australian values subsection that must also be passed (dual-style gate — confirm current Home Affairs rules). Themes cover Australian values, history, government and democracy, and Australia/Australians. This UniPrep2Go page is an independent longer diagnostic (60 questions, 45 minutes, 75% single pass mark) on overlapping themes — it does not enforce a separate values gate like the official sitting, is not Home Affairs material, and is not a substitute for the official 20-question paper.
Administered by: Australian Department of Home Affairs as part of the citizenship application process. Confirm current test rules, values requirements, and booking steps on homeaffairs.gov.au. (official site ↗)

Who this exam is for
Permanent residents preparing the Australian citizenship test; applicants who need practice beyond the official 20 questions; and learners who must not forget the official values subsection. Not legal advice and not Home Affairs material.
How to prepare
1) Study the official Australian citizenship test resource booklet. 2) Drill values items until you can clear the mandatory values gate, not only overall percentage. 3) Cover history, democracy, and Australian life. 4) Take this free 60-question readiness check for topic scoring (single 75% gate). 5) Sit several 20-question / 45-minute sets that include values. Use the Citizenship & Naturalization Anki Bundle for spaced repetition.
Confirm current fees, eligibility, and scheduling with Official exams administered separately by BAMF, French authorities, UK Home Office, IRCC, Australian Home Affairs, and USCIS before you book the real exam.
