Free CSCS Card Course Mock Exam, Actual Questions From The CSCS Test 2012/13 UK

Sample Questions From The UK CSCS Exam / Test 2012

The CSCS ( Construction Skills Certification Scheme ) is a required skill which people require to work on building sites within the UK. The qualification means that the person has passed basic site awareness in Health and Safety aspects around the work place.

The CSCS card is renewable every three to five years, and without one, most workers will not be allowed to continue working on any building site within the UK. The CSCS test itself lasts for only 45 minutes, but many people finish it early as the multiple choice questions ( of which there are 40 ) are basically common sense. A little revision for the CSCS test virtually guarantees a pass.

A mock exam or test for applicants wishing to pass the CSCS test are usually only available if you register and pay for the actual exam through various companies.

These are a selection of questions which appear in the CSCS test / exam February 2012. Although not all questions are here as the choice of questions they provide are extensive, the core questions which will result in a pass level are all mentioned. This mock test / exam is designed to ensure that nearly all competent people will pass the exam.

NB: The author of this, has an 11 year old son, whom after no revision, took seven mock tests then passed with a score of 37 / 40. Sample questions are excellent practice.
