You sit on a chair in the room and there's a clipboard with an answer sheet on it. Then they give out the test and you circle the correct answer on your sheet. It's handwritten, they give u a pencil. Don't stress over it, it's really not difficult. If you can answer the questions on the Citizenshipcounts.ca website then you will have no trouble at all on the test. It took me around 4 mins to complete and that included checking my answers. I would say about 18 of the 20 questions are common sense but maybe 2 are ones you need to re read the question to make sure you get the right answer.
