Before the test starts, you will be given instructions on how the test works. You can also choose to go through a practice session of the multiple-choice questions to get used to the layout of the test. At the end of the practice session the real test will begin.
A question and a selection of answers will appear onscreen and you have to select the correct answer to the question by touching the screen. Some questions may require more than one answer. You can navigate between questions and ‘flag’ questions that you want to come back to later in the test.
You need to score at least 43 out of 50.
The hazard perception test is made up of 14 video clips each clip will contain 1 or 2 developing hazards. You will be marked on how well you react to the hazard you will score from 0 to 5 on each hazard.
You need to score an overall mark of 44 out of 75.
