The Theory Test

The theory test is straight forward if you take the time to study and prepare for it. It comprises of a series of multiple-choice theory questions followed by a series of video clips to test your hazard perception.

You will be asked 50 multiple-choice questions, in 57 minutes, and the pass mark is 43 out of 50.

The hazard perception part of the test consists of 14 video clips featuring real road scenes. As soon as you spot a hazard developing, you should respond by clicking the mouse. The earlier the hazard is spotted the higher the score. A hazard is defined as any situation, which may result in the driver having to change their speed or direction. In order to pass candidates must score at least 44 out of 75.

You must complete and pass both parts to receive an overall pass.

Your theory test certificate is valid for 2 years and you must have passed your theory test in order to book your practical driving test.

You can book a Theory Test by phoning the DSA on 0300 200 1122 or by booking online at www.direct.gov.uk
