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 19 tests emergency awareness through safe working decisions with practical clues. On emergency awareness, candidates separate manual handling, working around plant and basic site behaviour rather than merging the clues. The review keeps attention on emergency awareness, not a broad retake. On CSCS Operative Mock 19, feedback should lead back to emergency awareness.

Topics included

Emergency awareness
Manual handling
Working around plant
Basic site behaviour
Applied scenario review 19

Common mistakes in this mock

Overlooking the environmental or welfare clue
Missing the clue about working around plant during a vehicle marshal signal
Choosing speed before worker responsibilities
Answering before checking ground conditions changing during the task

Who this mock is for

Users who need targeted practice on emergency awareness without a long retake.
