⚠️ The real test costs $24 per attempt and you only get 6 tries. After that, you may need to withdraw your citizenship application.
Why prepare?
Failing isn't just embarrassing — it's expensive
The government has designed this test with real consequences. Here's what's at stake.
$24
Per attempt
Each time you sit the real test costs $24 — on top of your citizenship application fee. Fail 6 times and you've spent $144 with nothing to show for it.
6
Maximum attempts
You get 3 tries, then a 30-day wait, then 3 more. After 6 failures, you may need to withdraw your entire citizenship application.
75%
Pass mark
You need 15 out of 20 correct. Questions are randomly selected from a larger pool — you can't just memorise a few answers.
45m
In-person, timed
No open-book, no phone, no help. Just you, a screen, and 45 minutes. Confidence comes from preparation.

FAQ
Common questions
Is this the official government test?
No. This is an independent practice tool based on the topics officially announced by the NZ Government. We are not affiliated with the Department of Internal Affairs. Our questions are based on NZ legislation and content published at govt.nz.
When does the real test start?
The government has announced the test will be required from the second half of 2027. If you apply for citizenship before then, you won't need to sit the test.
Who needs to take the test?
Most adults applying for citizenship by grant. Exemptions apply for those under 16, over 65, and people with an English language waiver or certain medical conditions. People applying by birth, descent, or Western Samoa pathways are not required to sit the test.
How many attempts do I get?
You get 3 attempts, then must wait at least 30 working days, then get 3 more. After 6 failed attempts, you may need to withdraw your application. Each attempt costs $24.
What topics are covered?
The Bill of Rights Act, human rights, certain criminal offences, voting rights, democratic principles, the structure of government, and travel to and from New Zealand.
Are the practice questions the same as the real test?
The real test questions haven't been released yet. Our questions cover the same topics, follow the same 20-question multiple-choice format, and use the same 75% pass mark. They're designed to prepare you for the type of knowledge being tested.
Is the $7.99 payment recurring?
No — it's a one-time payment. You get unlimited access to all practice tests forever. No subscription, no hidden fees.
