Theory Test and Hazard Perception

What the Theory Test consists of.

The Theory Test is in two parts; the multiple choice part and the hazard perception part. You have to pass both parts at the same time to pass the theory test. You need to pass the theory test before you can apply for The Practical Driving Test.

The Multiple Choice Part.

For this part of the test a touch screen computer is used and you have to select the correct answer. Some questions may require more than one correct answer. You'll be asked 50 questions and have 57 minutes to answer all the questions. You must answer 43 or more to pass. You can flag questions and come back to them later on in the test. After this part of the test you can take a break for 3 minutes before starting the Hazard Perception Part.

The Hazard Perception Part.

Once the 3 minute break is over, you'll be shown how the Hazard Perception part works. The test is still carried out on the computer but this time your responses are recorded through clicking the computer mouse. You'll have 14 video clips presented to you which feature everyday situations and you'll have to respond to the developing hazard in the clip, one clip will have two developing hazards. To achieve a high score you will have to respond to the developing hazard in the early stages. The maximum you can score on each hazard is 5. As on the road you'll only have one chance to respond to the hazard, you will not be able to review your answer as in the first part. The pass mark is 44 out of a possible 75.

At the end of the test you'll be asked some customer survey questions, it's up to you whether you answer these or not.

Once you leave the examination room, you'll be given your results by one of the test centre staff.
