The NSW HPT includes 15 short clips, with 2 practice clips before you begin. In each video, tap when it’s safe to act—slow down, merge or overtake, or turn—and you’re scored on timing: taps inside the safe window earn points, while early/late or risky taps reduce them (sometimes no action is best). The HPT is mandatory before the Driving Test. Read the NSW Hazard Perception Test Handbook, then start practising.
NSW HPT Practice Test Clips
Work through quick HPT scenarios. Decide when to slow, turn, or wait. You can score up to 5 points for each developing hazard.
Book Your NSW HPT in 3 Simple Steps
Brush up with practice clips, sign in to begin, choose your preferred centre and timeslot, and pay to secure your spot for test day.
Sign in to Service NSW
Create or sign in to your Service NSW account. Check your details, choose the licence class, and confirm eligibility. Keep your ID handy so you can book and manage appointments quickly and without issues.
Choose Test Centre & Time
Pick a nearby test centre, date, and time that suits you. Allow travel time, avoid peak hours, and run a few practice clips first to polish safe-gap timing, intersections, pedestrians, and night or wet-road judgement.
Pay the Fee & Confirm Booking
Pay the fee to lock in your HPT booking. You’ll receive an email or SMS confirmation with a reference number. Bring valid ID on test day, arrive a little early, and complete check-in smoothly before starting your clips.

FAQs
The HPT doesn’t use written “questions”—it uses video clips. You’ll get 15 scored clips (plus 2 practice clips before the test starts). In each clip you tap when it’s safe to act.
No. NSW has a car HPT (Class C) and a rider HPT (Class R)—same tap-when-safe format, but clips suit driving vs riding. Heavy vehicles (LR–MC) use separate knowledge/on-road assessments.
There’s no published exact number. You’re scored on timing across 15 clips; you can mistime some and still pass if your overall score shows consistently safe decisions (including no action when appropriate).
You need a current NSW learner licence. If you’re 25+, you can book whenever you’re ready. If you’re under 25, you can book after holding Ls for at least 10 months.
The HPT costs $57 per attempt in NSW. Fees can change—confirm the current amount with Transport for NSW.
You can book weeks or months ahead (rolling availability). You can reschedule/cancel online before your appointment, subject to availability. Late cancellations or no-shows usually result in the fee being forfeited. Manage it in your Service NSW account.
They mirror real clips so you learn safe-gap timing (including when no action is correct). Instant feedback pinpoints weak topics (intersections, pedestrians, merging), and 15-clip exam mode builds stamina—cheaper than extra test attempts.
Yes. Sign in to your Service NSW account and reschedule to another centre/time if slots exist. If you miss or cancel late, you’ll typically forfeit the fee and pay again when rebooking.
You can rebook another HPT; there’s no fixed limit on attempts. You’ll pay the fee again, and your next slot depends on centre availability. Keep your learner licence valid.
Your HPT pass is valid for 15 months. You must pass the Driving Test within 15 months or you’ll need to sit the HPT again (and pay again).
