Most people who fail the CITB HS&E test do so by a few marks. The pass mark is high: 45 out of 50 for Operatives and 46 out of 50 for Managers and Professionals. That leaves little room for guessing.
The good news is that the questions come from published material. With a week or two of steady revision, most candidates pass first time.
| Topic | Why it trips people | What to focus on |
|---|---|---|
| Working at height | Many questions, fine detail | Ladders, scaffolds, edge protection |
| Hazardous substances | Unfamiliar terms | COSHH basics, asbestos, dust |
| Environment | Often overlooked | Waste, spills, wildlife and noise |
| Behaviour scenarios | No single fact to learn | Choose the safest, most responsible action |
On the day Bring valid photo ID, arrive early, and read every question twice. You can flag a question and come back to it before you finish.
You get your result straight away. If you fall short, look at which topics cost you marks, revise those and rebook. There is no limit on attempts. Read what the CITB test covers if you are still choosing your level.
