Could you be Australian?

I got 19 out of 20 questions correct. I think the US citizenship tests I’ve tried have been tougher, but none of these are really super difficult as long as you can read and have some basics knowledge of Western-style democracies.

I’m from Ohio, BTW.

18/20. Not too shabby for someone who’s never been there.

Another 18/20. I’m putting Australia on my short list for when I want to get away from it all.

See, and I was proud of 17/20, until all of you got better scores! But you’re right, a general knowledge of how democracy works along with common sense can get you a passing score.

I got 18/20 so I guess I can be a citizen of Australia! Yippee!
Can’t wait to go to their capital city of Vienna!

What?
Oh.
Well, that wasn’t on the test…

19/20.

There’s an Aboriginal flag?

19/20 - but that included a lucky guess about the aboriginal flag and an unlucky guess about what a Governor-General does. (I knew I’d heard about Anzac when I was in NZ, so I figured it had something to do with both countries.)

And what I know about Australia could be written on a postage stamp.

That’s very straightforward compared to the new American test.

I seem to be the worst Australian candidate so far, with 15/20 correct answers, but that is all I need!

19/20; the joker in the pack was in Group 3 but I’m not sure which one it is. When I change the one I think is wrong I drop down to 18/20. Gonna have to go play with that one a bit.

Just to be clear here, do I have to pass the test, or fail the test, to qualify as an Australian?

Can’t believe I got that one wrong…

I got 18 out of 20 in the practice questions. Where do I pick up my kangaroo?

Many of the questions are painfully obvious to someone coming from another Commonwealth country (e.g. Canada).

Exactly. I admit to guessing on the Aboriginal flag question, but since red, yellow, black and white are big colours in the First Nations Medicine WheelI consider it possibly an educated guess.

I’m from Ontario, I wanted to put a national flower on all the government property. (My dad worked for the Ontario government, I’m used to seeing the trillium on everything, from stationary to vehicles)
So sign me up for 19/20, and I’ll see you on the beach at New Year’s.

I am a perfect Australian!

Hope I can pass it, I sit the test in a few weeks for my Australain citizenship!

I’m not worried though, if you live here for more than 15 minutes it’s easy.

18/20

Of course I have been to Oz and have actually petted a koala.

I like your sense of humour Boyo Jim. :slight_smile:

Forget taking the questions. I am declaring you an honorary Aussie for that alone.

There were not any questions about the various footy/rugby leagues. Additionally there was not an Ashes question.

Clearly this test needs revision.

Now who hid my Eskie?

Obviously you’re not up on current affairs. There will be no further discussion of the Ashes for a further two years. Thank you very much. Ashes, what Ashes? You must be mistaken we haven’t played for them recently :smiley:

20/20. Just as bloody well, really.
