HGV or LGV: the same theory test

Learners and employers say HGV (heavy goods vehicle); DVSA’s theory test material says LGV (large goods vehicle). They are the same test for the same lorries, whether you are going for category C1, C or CE. These ten practice tests each have 47 or 48 multiple-choice questions with the answer and an explanation shown as you go, and between them they use the whole question bank once. They are free and need no account.

Practice sets and the real part 1a

Practice test here Driver CPC part 1a, multiple choice
Questions 47 or 48 100
Time No limit 1 hour 55 minutes
Pass mark 85%, shown as 40 or 41 85 out of 100

One set is about half a real paper. Doing two sets back to back inside 1 hour 55 minutes is the closest rehearsal: concentration over the second half is where marks drift away. Hazard perception (part 1b, 19 clips, 67 out of 100) is booked and sat separately and needs video practice.

What the questions cover

Part of the bank is the Highway Code knowledge every driver needs. The rest is specific to lorries: drivers’ hours and tachographs, vehicle weights and dimensions, load security, air brakes and couplings, daily checks, restricted routes and the blind spots around a long vehicle. Wrong answers in those areas point to a guide:
