Free Tasmania Learners Test Practice

The Tasmanian Hazard Perception Test is free and online, shows 25 clips with 13 correct needed to pass, and must be passed before you book the P1 practical driving assessment.

With a novice learner or L1 licence, you can sit the test any time from 3 months before your earliest P1 practical assessment date. Non-novice learners, and people converting some overseas licences, can sit it straight after passing the driver knowledge test. Your supervised hours do not need to be finished first. The test was introduced on 7 March 2022 and is now required for most learners.

A Tasmanian novice learner holds the licence for at least 12 continuous months and completes 80 logbook hours, 15 of them at night. The HPT fits near the end of that stage: it opens 3 months before the earliest P1 assessment date and has to be passed before that assessment is booked.

Each clip shows a driving situation. You click Take action when it is safe to act or when you need to avoid a hazard, and let the clip play out if no action is safe. Only four actions appear, one per clip: overtake, move off, turn right and slow down. All 25 clips must be attempted before a score is calculated. You have 45 minutes, most people need about 20, and you should allow another 5 to 10 minutes for the instructions and practice questions.

Free, including every reattempt.

Online through Plates Plus, anywhere you have internet access. Without home internet or mobile data you can use a library, a community online access centre, a Service Tasmania public access computer, which is not a knowledge test terminal, or a school outside class time.

A practice test exists, but only for people who can already access the HPT. Plates Plus says there is no separate practice test outside it, and recommends doing the practice before your first attempt.

You can try again straight away, with no lock-out and no limit on attempts. You cannot see which questions you got wrong. A pass is valid for 12 months, and if you do not pass the practical driving assessment within that time you must pass the HPT again.

Plates Plus recommends doing the optional practice test before your first attempt. If you are transferring a learner licence from another state and have already passed a hazard perception test there, its FAQs explain how to prove it.

Tasmania separates novice practice into L1 and L2. Thirty supervised hours are recommended while on L1, then 50 are required during L2 before the practical assessment can proceed. A novice learner holds the licence for at least 12 continuous months, so the earliest P1 assessment date is 12 months from issue. Department of State Growth Tasmania records the L1 and L2 arrangement, checked 28 August 2026.

The free online Hazard Perception Test opens three months before that earliest assessment date. It has 25 clips and needs 13 correct, and it must be passed before the practical driving assessment is booked. Plates Plus Tasmania, checked 15 September 2026, names the free test and immediate reattempts. Service Tasmania remains the agency source for the knowledge test. No statewide practical pass rate with a named publisher has been confirmed here.

The Tasmanian knowledge test is booked through Service Tasmania and carries no fee, which makes it the cheapest entry point in the country. We are checking the current question count and pass mark against the Tasmanian source before we publish them, rather than repeating the numbers other sites carry.

Supervised hour requirements are being checked against Service Tasmania before publication.

A free knowledge test does not remove the need to prepare for the practical driving assessment.

No verified pass rate is published here for the Practical driving assessment.
