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.
