By identifying areas where you may be struggling, you can focus your study efforts on those areas and improve your chances of passing the test.

  3. Hazard perception practice: The hazard perception section of the LGV or PCV Theory Test can be challenging for some people, especially if they are not used to identifying potential hazards on the road specific to these types of vehicles. Taking a practice test can help you develop your hazard perception skills and improve your scores on this section of the test.

  4. Save time and money: If you fail the LGV or PCV Theory Test, you will have to pay the test fee again to retake it.

By taking a practice test before your training, you can identify areas where you need to improve and prepare yourself for the training program.
