If you are studying for the LGV/HGV theoretical test, you probably want to understand as much as you can about what is expected of you. In light of this, we’ve created this comprehensive guide that tells you all you require to learn to pass the first time.

Passing your LGV theory test is a crucial, first step on the path to pursuing a career as a driver. In this section, we examine in detail the full HGV theory portion of the driver certification process. This is also covered in the CPC certificate, which all of the new drivers must pass, after passing, they must continue to travel the road.

Who Should Take the Theoretical HGV Exam?

Taking the HGV theory test is a good idea if you:

• You want to obtain your first time using your PCV/HGV licence, switch from HGV to PCV,, or the other way around.
• You may also be wanting to obtain a Cat C/C+E/PCV licence because you have earned certain rights.

What Does the Heavy Good’s Vehicle  Theory Test Cover?

The theory test for LGV/HGV is divided into three sections:

MCQs

An HPT test

Case Study: CPC

MCQs

What Are the MCQs About?

There are 100 questions in the test’s multiple-choice section. These inquiries and the test on hazard perception are included in Module.

You must receive 85 /100 possible points so to pass. The hazard perception test and the mcq test are both administered on screens.

How long will it take me to pass the Heavy Goods Vehicle theory test?

You will have 2 hours in total to complete the exam, of which 1 hour and 15 minutes will be spent on the mcqs and 45 minutes on the hpt test.

What Is Tested for Hazard Perception?

The Hazard Perception component of the HGV theory test comes next and evaluates your capacity to recognise and respond to potential road hazards. The test is taken on a screen, as was previously described.

You’ll see 19 different video clips during the hazard perception test, with each one lasting around 60 seconds. Each video is presented from the driver’s point of view with a range of hazards that could prompt you to act right away.

 The passing marks 

The hazard test has 100 marks, although it is slightly difficult and you must receive a minimum of 67 to pass. Out of 18/19 videos will include one scorable danger, and one — you will not be informed which one will have two. Each hazard that can be scored will be worth 5 points, with the number of points awarded varying according to how quickly the hazard was identified. The video with the two hazards is so important because of this.

Conclusion 

The HGV test is not as difficult to pass, with the right guidance, patience, a little bit of practice and with the right instructor, you can get your HGV driving license right in time.
