How many questions are on the NSW Heavy Vehicle Knowledge Test?
45 questions on road rules and road safety for your licence class.
What is the pass mark for the HVKT?
The Transport for NSW test page we checked does not state the pass mark, so this practice exam shows your score without a fixed pass line. Aim to get nearly every question right.
Which HVKT do I sit?
The rigid test if you are applying for LR, MR or HR, and the combination test for HC or MC.
What should I study for the HVKT?
The Heavy Vehicle Driver Handbook, the Road User Handbook and the Load Restraint Guide. Transport for NSW says these contain everything in the test.
