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.
Some of the multiple choice questions will be given as a case study. The case study will show a scenario
that five questions will be based on. The subject of the scenario focuses on real life examples and experiences that
drivers could come across when driving.
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.
