The SSSTS Mock Test is one of the best ways to prepare for your CITB Site Supervisors’ Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS) course and final assessment. Whether you are taking the SSSTS online or in person, practising mock questions helps you strengthen your understanding of UK construction health and safety laws, leadership responsibilities, and the core topics covered in the CITB syllabus.
At Target Zero Training, we help thousands of supervisors across the UK pass their SSSTS course on the first attempt. In this blog, we’ll explain what the SSSTS Mock Test involves, why it matters, and how to make sure you’re fully prepared.
What Is the SSSTS Mock Test?
The SSSTS Mock Test is a practice version of the final assessment you’ll face at the end of your CITB SSSTS course. It’s designed to simulate real exam conditions and questions based on topics such as:
- Site supervision and leadership
- Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
- Risk assessments and method statements
- Toolbox talks and site briefings
- Accident reporting and site communication
- Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM)
- Environmental awareness and waste management
The test helps you familiarise yourself with the question format and identify any knowledge gaps before the final exam.
Why Take an SSSTS Mock Test Before Your Course?
Many delegates underestimate the importance of preparation. Taking a mock SSSTS test before starting your course gives you a head start and builds confidence.
Here’s why it’s valuable:
- Boosts Exam Confidence – Familiarity with question types reduces anxiety during the real assessment.
- Identifies Weak Areas – You can focus revision on the topics where you score lower.
- Improves Time Management – Practising under timed conditions trains your brain to think quickly.
- Increases Pass Rate – Delegates who complete mock tests are far more likely to pass first time.
At Target Zero, we’ve developed a full CITB Mock Test practice hub to help you revise effectively and prepare for your SSSTS, SMSTS, and CITB Health and Safety Awareness exams.
How the SSSTS Assessment Works
The official SSSTS assessment consists of a multiple-choice test with additional written questions. You’ll need to demonstrate a solid understanding of both legislation and leadership responsibilities.
You must achieve 80% or higher to pass. Failing the test means retaking the assessment, so preparation is essential.
Top Topics to Revise for the SSSTS Test
When preparing for your SSSTS course and mock test, make sure you revise the following:
- The CITB Site Supervision Safety Training Scheme syllabus

- Health and safety communication and reporting systems
