Hazard Perception Test (HPT) WA Study Tips

The Hazard Perception Test (HPT) is a practical, computer-based test. To get an idea of what the test will look like and how you will interact with the touch screen you should use the online simulations provided by the Department of Transport.

But wait... there's more! Driving Test WA has a handy resource that allows for a wider variety of practice tests. These 6 practice tests (which include the DoT simulations) consist of clips of real traffic situations and require a quick response, just like the real HPT.

You can find links to the practice tests and Driving Test WA commentary on the appropriate responses here.
