The real test has 100 questions in up to 90 minutes. Our question banks cannot fill 100 without repeats, so this mock has 50 questions in 45 minutes, half the real length. The Council does not publish how many questions are in each section; our split follows the question numbers in the Council's example questions, with place questions making up the largest share. The pass mark is 75%, the private hire standard; hackney carriage applicants need 90%. The real test also needs 40% or 50% in each section, which this mock does not check. The hackney test's offices, flats and places outside Bristol are not in this mock; practise them in our offices, flats and outside Bristol topic.
