CSCS Mock Test for Supervisors – Gold Card Test

March 31, 2021

If you would like to hold a Gold CSCS card to become a supervisor, you will need a better understanding of health and safety than most of the other workers on the construction site.

On a worksite being a supervisor has some responsibilities, and you will have to make safety-critical decisions every day, which will be a massive part of your job.

To get hold of your gold CSCS card, you will first have to pass the CITB Health, Safety & Environment Test. This test will consist of 50 multiple choice questions, you will need to get to the pass mark, which is 47 out of 50. These questions will have 38 questions, which will test you on health, safety, and environmental issues, and the other 12 questions will be behavioural case study questions. These will test you on how you should act on a construction site to keep yourself and others safe at all times.

Supervisors taking their test soon can use this free CSCS mock test for supervisors, there are 50 questions in total on this mock test, all multiple choice questions and some will need more than one answer. Good luck and let us know how you got on in the comments below.
