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

Strong answers on basic site behaviour depend on worker responsibilities, safe access and PPE choices being read in the right order. Where options look close, the detail around basic site behaviour helps explain the correct choice. For CSCS Operative Mock 22, review basic site behaviour as the short revision target.
