由於高失敗率，近年來澳洲入籍考試備受爭議。一項調查顯示，在2018年順利入籍的澳人中，有超1200人曾經歷過3次失敗。
據《每日郵報》報道，同年在85267名申請人中，有4807人未能通過考試。高失敗率加上移民部門批准處理速度慢，令不少人質疑測試系統的有效性。
政客Tony Burke和Julian Hill表示，無數生活在澳洲的PR持有者想要表達他們對澳洲的忠誠，結果卻因為一個部門的「黑洞」被擱置了。
審計報告顯示，在過去4年里，等待入籍申請獲批的人數猛增771％，截至2018年6月30日，共有244765人還在等待結果。
此外，澳洲政府還計划出台新的立法，如果申請者3次考不過，那麼兩年內都不得參加入籍考試。
澳洲民族社區聯合會代理首席執行官Mohammad Al-Khafajj認為，入籍測試並不能衡量申請者對澳洲的忠誠度。
澳洲入籍考試是從75道題裡面隨機抽取20道題進行測試，都是選擇題，只要答對其中15道就能過關。那麼，澳洲入籍考試究竟有多難，下面有一份測試，你可以試試。
