When I got there, lots of people from the morning test were still there. The test wasn't started until after 1pm. After we were seated, a lady read the test instructions. So our test started at ~1:20. We were told to keep test content confidential, so can't share the questions with others. If you read the book carefully, there should be no problem. I personally feel those online tests are not very helpful though. So please do not rely on them totally. I checked my answers a few times before I handed it in. Most people finished in 10-15 min.

When we got out of the exam room, there were still some people from the morning there doing interview. I waited at least an hour until it was my turn. The officer asked me for passport, landing paper, PR card. These were all the things he asked for. I asked if I need to show my degree and transcript, he said no need. The conversation with the officer will be the test for language :) He then asked me to talk about my research, since I do research at a university, and where I graduated from, etc. The interview should be 7-8 min top. Then he said, oh did I mention you got 20 in your test? All in all, things are straight forward. At the end, he said my citizenship is granted, and wait for 2-5 months for oath invitation.
Hey I'm so nerves for my test tomorrow. Were all the questions multiple choice and over all how long was the total process time from the moment your test was schedule till you left the building?

All multiple (A-D) and true/false (A/B). It depends a lot on how many people are scheduled. I finished my test in the middle of my batch, and there were people from morning there too. My test was 1pm, and I got out around 3pm.

Sorry if I made any of you nervous. Please remember that we don't need to get 20/20 to pass. I would say 90% are easy, only 2 or 3 are tricky. I was nervous before the test too, but worrying will not help. we should hope for the best.

Good luck everyone!

Thanks EVERYONE!!!!!! :D

Oh and I forgot to add make sure you speaks on full sentences to
the officers bc their were pretty harsh with some people today not interacting with
English speaking. Basically that would be your Language test.

I had my test today and passed 20/20.
Don't rely on online tests completely because questions in the test are asked indirectly not directly.
Read book 3-4 times or as many times you feel comfortable.

Online tests can sharpen your memory but you still have to rely on the study guide(official Discover Canada Book)

During interview the citizenship officer has approved my application and said congratulations to me and he told me that I will receive oath letter in 2-3 months.

Now waiting for oath.
