Talk:Australian citizenship test

English language skills
The "Draft Citizenship Test Resource Book" contains several uses of the word "Aboriginals", despite this not being correct English. "Aboriginal" is an adjective. Perhaps they mean "Aboriginal people" or "Aborigines" or "Indigenous Australians"? Perhaps the testers need to test their own English skills? --Design 10:57, 28 August 2007 (UTC) Usage: The Australian Government Style Manual (6th ed, 2002) encourages the use of Aboriginal as a noun to replace Aborigine. Indigenous is the preferred term to encompass both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Done! Good bye and good night ;-)

Needs a criticism section
There's also been media criticism of the test - including that one of the questions had an incorrect answer leading to some people failing their tests by one question (my impression - a straight out programming/configuration error). --Nick4mony (talk) 06:56, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

20% failure rate would be proof that the test is far too simple. When the failure rate hits 50% then we'll know people had to actually learn something before becoming citizens.

I agree but try asking aussies born and bred these questions and you would realise how unnecessary it really is and an interview process would be much more beneficial — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.229.78.232 (talk) 08:30, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
