I put my missus through her first car licence just after the hazard perception test was introduced.
I failed abysmally on all of the practice videos available at the time & was unable to school the missus through hers.
She failed it twice . . . untill a sympathetic examination centre employee told her to click once every 8 seconds !!!
I don’t know if this still works & frankly I don’t care. The whole lot is so flawed it is unbelievable, we are still schooling people in how to pass a test, NOT in how to drive a vehicle.
The way I teach this is firstly treat it as a video game - this is what it is in reality
secondly imagine you are driving the vehicle with the camera in it - when something happens in your view then react to it.
You will almost certainly click earlier than required, this is ok and do this - wait 1 second then click again - wait 2 seconds then click for a third time.
This will help to ensure that at least 1 of the mouse clicks will be in the scoring window - do not hold off waiting for the time when you think it is right as this will lead to you missing the timing they are looking for.
Quick update: 3rd time lucky!!
Did absolutely nothing different and I know I cocked up one scenario because I didn’t think it was a relevant hazard (not considering the hazards in other scenarios that they ignored).

Will now sort out practical training & test
Well done - good luck with your practical training and test, hazards on that are real world

Excellent, well done! Good luck with the practical
Congratulations on a great result - just shows your hazard perception was good enough otherwise you would have possibly had a different result - not a huge fan of the hazard perception test for experienced drivers as you may guess
Congrats on passing, I passed both my hazard perception and theory last week. I read something the night before taking the test that when you see a hazard click the mouse 3 times with a second between each click. This is what I did and I strongly think it worked as I got 90/100 on the hazard. I know you’ve both passed now but hopefully help others due to sit theirs. You have to know how the computer is thinking, I always look well in advance off what is happening as well as right under my nose. I saw a hazard on one video that was a good distance away so a clicked and scored zero. Luckily it was on the practice software at home
