My test was quite good. Me and my wife gave it in same batch (family application). We both got different set of questions. Hers was more focussed on history with years etc! Many people told us not to worry about history, dates etc. Thankfully, we studied our bit. We both scored 20/20.
The test was a 30 minute paper based test, with 20 multiple choice. Min 15 correct answers required to pass the test. I completed in 2 minutes (first one to exit the room in our batch ). It was simple if studied well!

Re Study methodology: we got the notice 5 weeks before test day. We started reading Discover Canada early on. But it was only the weekend before test when we studied. Our appointment was Monday 8:15 am. We read the book once on Friday night. The started giving practice tests online. The timelines spreadsheet on this forum has the links for online practice tests. After giving few tests, we scored 80% and realized we had to study the image captions also in the book. Saturday we studied the book again; and started asking questions from each other (our revisions). Then we gave a LOT of practice tests online. They helped and we started getting 95% to 100%. Finished studying 3 am on Sunday, and then mostly relaxed on Sunday. Just studied the dates of each province and territory formation/joining confederation, some history dates and the names of key people that were showcased in pictures of the book! That's it!

All the best for your exam.

BTW, my eCas changed to DM today

I myself a rarest of rare persons just kidding bro. I got a secnodary review when I renewed my PR card and it took them 1.5 years to renew my PR!

NOW I HAVE A QUESTION
I'm traveling out of country USA July 6th! what are my options now? Won't I be able to come back to Canada? or I can apply for a passport from the USA. What are your thoughts fellows?

Thanks

Ha ha ha! It will all look like a joke 1 yr after!

The question is really good one. It may be better to post as a new thread in the forum to attract some seniors attention! Just my suggestion

Can I apply for the passport same oath day?

I don't see why not! I had been researching today about Canadian passport process for myself. All that's mentioned is - they need the citizenship certificate, along with other documents. And we will get the certificate after oath, so why not!
