citizenship test scheduled

In four more weeks I will have been a permanent resident of Australia for two years, at which point I will be eligible to become an Australian Citizen and hold dual US-Australian citizenship (only because of when I moved here--the rules have since changed to make it a four year requirement, but I got in under the wire). However, before I can lodge my application, it is necessary to take a "citizenship test". When baronsnorri took it last year, he pronounced it very easy (multiple choice!), so I should be ok, I've always been a good test-taker. Besides, they let you take it over if needed (but, boy would it be embarrassing to need to take it more than once!). So, anyway, I've finally booked my test--next week Thursday at 10:00. That will give me three more weeks to get my paperwork ready for the actual application, assuming I pass the test on the first go, which I should do. Now I just need to make time to read over the book again between now and then--I would so much rather get a perfect score than the simple "pass" required of me...

Some sample questions from the book:

How are Members of parliament chosen?
In what year did the European Settlement of Australia start?
What is the floral emblem of Australia?
