Hazard perception test preparation by a professional instructor!

Our professional recommendation on VicRoads HPT preparation to be able to sit for drive test is to read all the information on this webpage till the very end with patience, and finally on the day practice on the VicRoads computer few times before clicking to start actual test.

Hot tips: Never book the appointment of HPT on the same day of drive test as if you couldn’t pass the HPT you couldn’t go for the drive test.

This could be very frustrating when VicRoads will tell you on the day of drive test that they can’t take you out drive test due to your HPT expired. Hazard test valid for 12 months, which VicRoads booking system sometime doesn’t check if your hazard test is valid or not and allow you to book drive test. So check the result valid or not prior the test day!

Hazard test to be completed within 45 minutes, 28 short videos 30 seconds each, 54% to pass the test. Most of the applicant completes the test within 15 minutes only. You will get chances to practice before the actual test on the same computer.

 

Caution: On the internet there are many videos on HPT but most of them are overseas standard/ doesn’t match with the actual test or sometime even teach you incorrectly.
