LGV/HGV Theory Test Revision Guide (UK)

This guide is for Category C / C+E learners who want a structured way to prepare for Module 1 and Module 2.

1. Know the Test Modules First

Module 1a (multiple choice): 100 questions, pass mark 85, time limit 1 hour 55 minutes.
Module 1b (hazard perception): 19 clips, pass mark 67 out of 100.
Module 2 (Driver CPC case studies): 7 case studies, pass mark 40 out of 50, time limit 1 hour 15 minutes.

These details come from GOV.UK guidance pages for HGV tests and Driver CPC modules.

Speed limits: focus on LGV/HGV limits by road type and nation.
Motorway rules: lane discipline, lane-3 restrictions for heavy vehicles, red X lane closures, and hard-shoulder rules.
Vehicle safety: walkaround checks (tyres, lights, steering, brakes, load security, and height marker use).
Driver hours: core domestic limits and assimilated EU tachograph limits.
Documents and compliance: licence categories, CPC modules, and operator responsibilities.

Week 1: rules of the road, signs, and speed-limit tables.
Week 2: safety margins, hazard awareness, motorway scenarios, and load security.
Week 3: driver hours, tachograph basics, and document/compliance topics.
Week 4: mixed timed mocks + review of weak categories daily.

Read every option fully before selecting your answer.
Flag uncertain questions and return once you complete the easier ones.
Use elimination to remove clearly wrong answers first.
In hazard perception, click when hazards begin to develop and avoid random click patterns.

Use category practice to fix weak topics quickly, then switch to random 50-question mocks for exam pacing.
