Theory Test

You need to pass the theory test before you can apply for the practical driving test. You can take the theory test as soon as you are 17 years of age.

 

The theory test is divided into two parts

  •  The hazard perception element

  •  The multiple choice element.


Both parts of the test are taken on the same day at the same test centre.
 

The multiple choice test is taken first

You select answers by simply touching a computer screen.
This 'touch screen' system has been carefully designed to make sure it is easy to use.

You have an opportunity to work through a practice session lasting up to 15 minutes to get used to the system before starting the actual test. Staff at the test centres are on hand to help you if you have any difficulties in using the system. The screens are easy to read. Only one question appears on the screen at a time and you can move backwards and forwards through the questions.

You have 40 minutes to answer 35 questions and you need to answer 30 questions correctly to pass this element of the theory test.

The hazard perception test

This is taken immediately after the multiple choice test and takes approximately 15 minutes to complete.

What does hazard perception mean?
Hazard perception means the ability and skill to identify hazardous situations as they arise, and take appropriate action as and when necessary.


The hazard perception test consists of 14 one minute video clips, filmed from a car. Each clip contains one or more developing hazards which the candidate has to identify. Candidates are asked to indicate (by clicking the mouse) as soon as they see a hazard which may require them to take action e.g. changing speed or direction.

Marks are based on the candidate's responses to the hazards (mouse clicks). The sooner a hazard is detected the higher the score.

Only developing hazards are scored
(responses made to other hazards will not lose points)

You will be given your results for both the multiple choice test and the hazard perception test before you leave the test centre. You need to have passed BOTH the hazard perception test and the multiple choice test in the same session to obtain your theory pass certificate.
....... good luck
