Forklift operator written test

Forklift operator written test guidance

If you have got to this page you have completed the twenty question sample written paper. Did you get eighty per cent? If so, well done.

Remember on the real test you will get some of these questions but others you may not have seen before. That's because instructors have a pool of questions from which they choose twenty multiple choice ones. In addition there are some questions that must be answered accurately else the candidate fails the test. (These were the first five on the first paper you just did)

If there are other people on the course with you they may or may not get the same questions or they may get some of them the same as you.

In addition to the multiple choice questions there are a further five "open" questions where you have to write the answers down. These are not difficult. An example may be:

"List four things that may cause a forklift truck to turn over forwards"

You can find the answers to every question you might be asked by going through the training course on this website. If you don't do very well on the test you have just done, go through the slides again and then take the test again.

Don't worry about correct grammar and spelling on your real test: The instructor simply wants to know if you have been listening and you won't lose any marks. If you are dyslexic or English is not your first language, tell your instructor and they will test you orally.

Good luck on your real written test.
