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 26 turns emergency awareness into site safety situations that need careful reading. Users reviewing emergency awareness should notice how manual handling, working around plant and basic site behaviour point to different answer choices. The review should connect emergency awareness with any sign of forgetting that communication is part of risk control. Within CSCS Operative Mock 26, the practice stays focused on emergency awareness.
