还以为入籍考试会变容易呢，原来是要更新

不见得吧，好像是因为入籍人数爆降的原因要review test，去年三月份三万多人，今年三月只有万把人。
好像是因为对考试fail后果有误解什么什么的。

还以为入籍考试会变容易呢，原来是要更新

review是检讨、重新评估、修订之意。review之后就是要让入籍考试变得更容易也更公平。

据2008年4月29日《澳洲人报》报道，联邦政府正对备受争议的公民入籍考试进行一次检讨。移民部长Chris Evans表示并无取消这一考试的计划，但对改进这一考试持开放态度。

尽管移民部提供的数字显示95％的考试者顺利通过考试，但这次检讨后，公民入籍考试还将变得更加容易，也更为公平，不过，入籍考试仍将继续以英语进行。






Citizenship test to get easier, fairer


April 29, 2008   The Australian

THE controversial citizenship test could be made easier in an effort to make it fairer, despite figures showing a 95 per cent pass rate.

The federal Government has announced the makeup of the committee that will review the seven-month-old test introduced by the Howard government.

The 20-question test, drawn from the Becoming an Australian Citizen resource book, has been attacked as being unfair to migrants. There are concerns that some questions - especially those that ask applicants to recall historical dates or name sporting figures - may be inappropriate.

Despite figures in the latest citizenship snapshot report, released yesterday, showing a 95per cent pass rate, the Government says there are concerns about whether it is fair for migrants.

"There was a debate about whether the book was at the appropriate level of English," Immigration Minister Chris Evans said yesterday.

"It was supposed to be a basic level of English, but apparently during the course of the previous government's ... involvement in the writing of it, (the level) crept up to be what is considered by many to be a native-speaker English standard."

The review will also look at making it fairer for people coming to Australia on humanitarian grounds.

"The results of the test are encouraging, the pass rates are high, but one of the areas that's been identified is the humanitarian stream," Senator Evans said.

"Those people who have arrived under the humanitarian scheme have lower pass rates, as you'd expect probably given their backgrounds and perhaps lack of familiarity with English."

However, the test will be retained, and will continue to be in English.

The review committee will be chaired by former diplomat Richard Woolcott and is due to report back by the middle of the year. The other members are Olympian Rechelle Hawkes, SBS director Paula Masselos, refugee advocate Julianna Nkrumah, Australia Day Council chief Warren Pearson, retired former chief of navy Vice-Admiral Chris Ritchie and legal expert Kim Rubenstein.

上个月送我朋友去参加考试。放下她后，我就去附近的商场转转。没想到，15分钟之后她打电话给我说，考完了，全对！她就用了4分钟回答所有题目，接下来就是等成绩。

足迹网的同学们应该都是经历过雅思的硝烟的，所以啊这个入籍考试应该是小意思了。

LS的同学，雅思是考英文水平，入籍考的是澳洲历史呀！

入籍考试本来就是乱花纳税人的钱和申请费。

这么简单的考试还要什么review，没有通过的人很多都是难民签证的。一些难民签证的人连本国语言和历史都不能掌握，还指望他们能了解澳洲考试？

难道移民局想让这个考试通过率变成100%吗？这样就干脆别考了，也可以让申请者少付120澳元。

一两道题目是有点偏，但是就一两道而已，这一两道关于体育文化方面的人名题目即使错误，也是能通过考试的，毕竟考试只要60%对（三个必对题一定要正确）就可以通过了。

我觉得还不错，能多了解一下澳洲历史吗。估计以后很少有机会学习澳洲概况啦。
