What is the pass mark?

You need 45 out of 50 — 90% — in 45 minutes to pass the real CITB HS&E test.

How much does the real test cost?

The current CITB fee is £22.50. UK Test Hub mocks are free.

Where do I sit the real test?

At a Pearson VUE test centre. You book it through the CITB website and bring photo ID on the day.

Is this the same as the Managers & Professionals test?

No — that uses different scenario-based questions. We have a separate CSCS Gold / Supervisor mock for that.

About this mock

Difficulty: Intermediate

CSCS Operative Mock 13 gives focused revision on manual handling using construction practice questions. Strong answers on manual handling depend on working around plant, basic site behaviour and worker responsibilities being read in the right order. The review keeps attention on manual handling, not a broad retake. On CSCS Operative Mock 13, feedback should lead back to manual handling.
