Hazard perception practice test

Practise your hazard perception skills with our online hazard perception test.

Hazard Perception Test Interactive Demonstrations

The hazard perception test demonstrations require real-time feedback to visual media and thus are not available for screenreader technology.

About the practice test

The practice test looks just like the real Hazard Perception Test and allows you to practice responding to simulated video clips of different driving scenarios and common hazards that could appear in the suburbs, city, or on country roads. There are nine sample videos to choose from and you can practice as many times as you like, free of charge!

  • A desktop computer. A widescreen monitor is recommended for best experience
  • A computer mouse. Before the test, check that it clicks correctly
  • Make sure your volume works and is turned on
  • Make sure you’re in a place that’s quiet for you to focus

Do I have to pay to take the practice test?

No. The practice test on this page is free of charge.

How many times can I try the practice test?

There are no limits to how many times you can attempt the Hazard Perception Practice Test.

Are the practice videos the same videos in the real Hazard Perception Test?

Yes, the videos in the practice test are like the video clips you’ll see in the real Hazard Perception Test. 

Will the practice test give me feedback about what I did wrong? 

Once you’ve taken action by clicking or not clicking your mouse, the video will tell you on the screen if you’ve responded correctly or incorrectly. You should aim to get more driving practice for scenarios you've responded incorrectly to before trying again.

Will my results to the practice test be saved anywhere?

No, your results to the practice test don’t get saved. The videos are available for you to practice as many times as you like.

Why won’t the videos launch on my screen? 

Before you start, make sure that your computer’s browser is up to date. You’ll need the latest version of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge on your desktop to complete the test. Mobile devices should not be used to take the practice test. 

How do I get more practice before taking the test?

You should get lots of supervised driving practice with your supervising driver or instructor in different conditions. You can also review your knowledge of the road rules and the stages of driving for ways to improve your hazard perception on the myLearners website
