OSHA Powered Industrial Truck Operator Test (29 CFR 1910.178)
- 20 questions drawn at random
- 20 minutes, auto-submit at zero
- Pass: 80%
- No feedback until you submit — just like the real thing
Every paper has a number. Opening randomly assigns one and writes it to the address bar (?set=…) — refresh, share, or retry the exact same paper anytime.
How this practice test works
Each session deals a numbered paper: 20 questions drawn from the full bank in random order, the same way an examiner would bounce between sections. Nothing is scored until you submit — no hints, no green flashes mid-exam — so the practice reflects the pressure of the real thing. After submission you get a pass/fail verdict against the official pass mark, a per-section accuracy breakdown, and the explanation behind every answer. Every paper number is written to the address bar, so you can refresh, share or retry the exact same paper.
