Practice the NSW Hazard Perception Test (HPT)
You need to pass the NSW Hazard Perception Test HPT first, before you can book your driving test. Once you’ve held your learner licence for at least 10 months, you can book your HPT for NSW at any service centre.
You can sit the HPT as many times as you like however, you must still pay a fee on each occasion. Practice the HPT online for free as these are the same scenarios that TfNSW use for the HPT.

The HPT is completed at service centres within NSW. The HPT involves a simple computer touch screen test, that assesses your ability to identify and respond to situations that can potentially occur in real life situations.

There are two practice questions before the actual test commences. The overall test includes 15 video clips that you will need to respond to.
