When should I book my Theory Test?


You should book your theory test AS SOON AS POSSIBLE after commencing practical lessons. Ideally, you should aim to pass theory within your first 10 practical lessons. this is so that your driving lessons are not adversely affected by a lack of theoretical knowledge.

Theory Test Information

 

The theory test is made up of a multiple-choice part and a hazard perception part. You need to pass both parts to pass the theory test.


Taking your theory test

 

All my clients receive the best theory training software available - Theory Test Pro  Clients automatically receive a login when they start lessons.


The Theory test is broken down into two parts - 50 multiple choice Theory questions and 14 Hazard Perception Videos. ​If you pass one part and fail the other you'll fail the whole test, and you'll need to take both parts again.


Before the test starts you'll be given instructions on how it works.


You can choose to do a practice session of multiple-choice questions to get used to the layout of the test. At the end of the practice session the real test will begin.


 

How the multiple-choice part works

 

A question and several possible answers will appear on a computer screen - you have to select the correct answer. Some questions may need more than one answer.


You can move between questions and 'flag' questions that you want to come back to later in the test.



Some car and motorcycle questions will be given as a case study. The case study will:


 

  • Show a short story that five questions will be based on
  • Focus on real life examples and experiences that you could come across when driving

 

 

Time allowed is 57 Minutes - The Pass mark 43 out of 50


 After the multiple-choice part you can choose to have a break of up to three minutes before the hazard perception part starts.


 

The hazard perception part


Before you start the hazard perception part, you'll be shown a short video clip about how it works.


You'll then be shown a series of video clips on a computer screen. The clips:


 

  • Feature everyday road scenes
  • Contain at least one developing hazard - but one of the clips will feature two developing hazards

 

A developing hazard is something that may result in you having to take some action, such as changing speed or direction.


How the hazard perception scoring works

 

The earlier you notice a developing hazard and make a response, the higher you will score. The most you can score for each developing hazard is five points.


To get a high score you need to:


 

  • Respond to the developing hazard during the early part of its development
  • Press the mouse button as soon as you see a hazard developing

 

You won't be able to review your answers to the hazard perception test.


If you click continuously or in a pattern during a clip a message will appear at the end. It will tell you that you have scored zero for that particular clip.


Think of a parked car on the side of the road. When you first see it, it isn't doing anything - it's just a parked car. If you respond at this point, you wouldn't score any marks, but you wouldn't lose any marks.


 


The pass mark is  44 out of 75

 

When you have finished the test you can leave the test room - but you won't be able to go back in. You'll then be given your result by the test centre staff. At the end of your theory test if you pass, you will receive your pass certificate

Remember, your theory test pass certificate runs out after two years of passing your test
