I did the test yesterday and posted the questions I remember here
 
In general, it was smooth interview and easy test. The interview was for about 10 minutes and the officer did check the passports throughly.
For those who will go for the test in the future, it is now required to bring copies of the passports. It is written in the blue paper that you will recieve as part of the test invitation.

Congrats Tarik,
 
Quick question base don your experience......if I'm missing two stamps for entry into the US and I've declared them in application, will the interviewer give me grief?
 
Only out of the country 10 times over the 1095 days

Immigration officers started interviewing ppl half hour before the scheduled time for test. It took them an hour n half to be done with 25+ ppl. Unfortunately  I was the second person being interview and I was asked a few questions like "why did I change my address" Duh! and then the passports were checked page by page. They kept a photocopy of the proof of Landed Immigrant and of my passports. They give you back your Documents and ask you to fill out the test answer sheet with your name, file # and case ID. After that you sit for however long it takes for them to finish with all the applicants then you take the test and walk out the door with a piece of paper telling you that it might take 1 - 3 months to get a notice to appear for an oath "If you pass". 
It took me less than 5 mins to write the test but took an hr n half to wait for the test to began. 

The test questions were some as Tarik mentioned the link above and some were from v-soul.com citizenship test questions. 

Good luck to all.

at Calgarymarch2011,
 
I don't think it would be a big deal if you have two stamps missing as long as you declared the trips. My wife had three trips, two of them were missing entry stamps at Canada but they had entry and exit stamps of the countries she visited.
 
The officer was reviewing the passports almost page by page and he had my declaration form infront of him and he was checking the visits against the stamps. I also offered him a translation that I had for some arabic stamps in my passport, and he reviewed it and returned to me as most of these stamps were before the time I landed in Canada and irrelevant to him.
 
He kept only copies of our expired passports as this seems to be a new requirements for all applicants. Be prepared to answer questions like where do you work now and if you have a new address that is different than the one you used when applying and if you have any recent trips out of Canada.
