theory test
Since 1996 all candidates wanting to take a practical driving test must first pass a theory test. The theory test is made up of two parts, a multiple choice section and a hazard perception test. The multiple choice is delivered using a touch screen computer and mouse. You must answer 50 questions and get a minimum of 43 correct to pass.
With the hazard perception test your responses are recorded through the use of a computer mouse button. You must click as early as possible when you see a developing hazard with a maximum score of 5 per hazard. There are a total of 15 developing hazards giving a possible total of 75. You must score at least 44 in order to pass this part of the test. You will need to pass both parts to successfully complete your theory test.
We can offer full in-car theory training and the relevant books and CD ROMs to help you pass. You can also take a theory test online! just click here to open a new window and prepare for the real thing.
