To help you prepare for the test, there is a test tutorial and 4 short practice tests on this website with five example questions each.

The tutorial will familiarise you with the look and feel of the citizenship test and guide you on using a computer mouse to answer the test questions and submit your test.

The practice test contains sample questions similar to those asked in the citizenship test. Doing the practice test will help you prepare for the types of questions you are likely to be asked when you take the actual citizenship test. The practice test is not part of the process of sitting the citizenship test. You can take the practice test over and over again and the results of the practice test will not affect the final result of the citizenship test when you take it.
