CSCS test topics
The CITB Health, Safety and Environment test groups its questions into sections. Operatives and Specialist tests share sections A to D; section E is the Specialist part. Pick a topic to see its free practice questions, each with the answer and why every other option is wrong.
The real test draws 50 questions from across these sections, so a weak topic can cost you the pass. You can only get 5 wrong. Practice the topics you are least sure of, then take a free timed mock.
