Free NSW DKT Practice Test: All 358 Official Questions

The NSW Hazard Perception Test is a touch screen test of 15 short videos, sat at a Service NSW centre for $58 an attempt, and you must pass it before the Driving Test for a provisional P1 licence.

You need a current NSW learner driver licence. If you are under 25, you can sit the test once you have held that licence for at least 10 months. If you are 25 or older, you can sit it as soon as you hold a learner licence and feel ready. Transport for NSW suggests booking it when you are close to ready for the Driving Test, and says there is no pressure to sit it at a particular time.

Service NSW lists two remaining steps between a learner licence and a provisional P1 licence: pass the HPT, then pass the practical Driving Test. You cannot sit the Driving Test until the HPT is passed, so the HPT is the last computer based test before you drive with an examiner.

The test is computer based and runs on a touch screen. You get 2 practice videos, then 15 short videos. In each one you touch the screen to show when you would slow down, overtake or turn at an intersection. The questions focus on common crash situations for provisional drivers. Transport for NSW describes the purpose as making sure you have the hazard perception skills to drive solo, by measuring how well you recognise potentially dangerous situations on the road.

$58 for each attempt, paid when you book, on the NSW fee schedule effective 1 July 2026.

At a Service NSW centre. You book through Service NSW and prove your identity when you attend. If you have trouble reading the questions, staff at the centre can read them to you and explain them, and you arrange that by calling 13 22 13 before you book.

Transport for NSW publishes no official practice test. Its HPT page says third party HPT practice tests are not the same as the NSW test and will not help you pass, and it names the Hazard Perception Handbook as the way to prepare.

You can sit the test as many times as you need, paying the fee each time. A pass is valid for 15 months, and if you have not passed the Driving Test inside that time you must sit the HPT again.

Transport for NSW's advice is to read the Hazard Perception Handbook, a 2.16MB PDF you can download or buy printed at a service centre, brush up on safe driving behaviour, consider the Safer Drivers Course and get as much driving experience as you can. The test is offered in English, Arabic, Chinese, Croatian, Greek, Korean, Serbian, Spanish, Turkish and Vietnamese, each with an audio version, and a free interpreter service is available. To book you need your NSW driver licence number, Photo Card number or Transport for NSW customer number, plus payment and the Licence Application form, and an Online Services account is optional. The Driver Licensing Access Program helps people from disadvantaged backgrounds and Aboriginal communities get a licence.

The Driver Knowledge Test runs 45 questions in two sections. The 15 general knowledge questions allow three wrong answers. The 30 road safety questions allow one. Transport for NSW publishes the car question bank in full, which is what you practise here. Since 2024 the agency has been moving learners onto DKT Online, a 4 to 6 hour course with the test at the end on a single fee.

120 supervised hours in the learner logbook before the driving test. The Safer Drivers Course credits 20 of them.

The road safety section is where sittings end. 29 correct out of 30 means one slip on a give way rule or a speed limit is the whole test.

About 56% statewide. Transport for NSW publishes outcomes for roughly 150 test centres, so the spread between them is public.
