The Hazard Perception Test scoring system: There are 14 movie clips, each containing 1 hazard, and one clip contains 2 hazards. Each time you click the mouse button to indicate a hazard you will be scored on how early you noticed the hazard. If you clicked the mouse button when the hazard first appeared you will score 5 points. You get 4,3,2,1 points the longer it takes you to notice the hazard and click the mouse button. If you completely miss the hazard you will score 0 points. If you click repeatedly or rythmically, you will score 0 points as the test will presume you are trying to cheat. There are no definite amount of clicks you can have each movie clip. If you score an average of 3 points each movie clip, you will pass the Hazard Perception Test.
