Theory test

There are 3 tests ...

There are three parts to passing your driving test:

• theory test
• hazard perception test
• practical driving test

Timing and fees

You have to pass the theory test and hazard perception test before you can book the practical driving test. It's recommended that you start studying for your theory test straight away but don't actually take it until you have some practical experience of driving. If you are on Course 1 or 2, preparation for the theory test and payment of the fees is included.

Multiple choice test

The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) requires you to sit a computer-based multiple-choice test as part of your theory test. For car drivers, this consists of 50 multiple choice questions. Associated with each question is a list of potential answers. You will be asked to select the correct answer, or answers, by touching the appropriate area of the computer screen. You will be given 57 minutes to complete the test. To pass you need to correctly answer 43 out of the 50 questions (i.e. 86%). Questions are chosen at random from a bank of over 1000 questions covering all driving topics.
