Driving Theory Test and Theory Test Practice

Driving Theory Test and Theory Test Practice

What is a Theory Test?

The theory test is mainly to test your knowledge of the Highway Code, but it also tests your attitude and common sense.

Who needs to take the Theory Test?

If you are a learner driver you must take and pass your theory test before you book your practical test. If you already have a driving licence you might not have to take another theory test whether you want to start driving a different vehicle.

How much does it cost?

From the 1st April 2008 the standard fee for automobile and motorcycle is £30.

Where do I book?

You can book directly with the DSA.

What to anticipate on the exam day

The theory test is prefabricated up of two parts; the multiple choice part and the endanger insight part. You need to pass both parts to pass the theory test. Once you have passed the theory test you can then apply to take your practical driving test.

Part 1: Multiple Choice

Before the test starts you’ll be given directions on how the test works.

You can also select to go through a practice session of the multiple choice questions to get used to the layout of the test. At the end of the practice session the real test will begin.

A question and several reply options will seem onscreen and you have to select the right reply to the question by touching the screen. Some questions might require more than one answer.

For automobiles and motorcycles you’ll be asked 50 questions in 57 minutes and the pass mark is 43 out of 50.

You can navigate between questions and ‘flag’ questions that you want to come back to later in the test. After the multiple choice part you can select to have a break of up to three minutes before the endanger insight part starts.

Part 2: Hazard Perception

After the break you’ll then be shown a short tutorial video clip about how the endanger insight part works.

The endanger insight part is also delivered on a personal but you reply by clicking a button on the mouse. You’ll be presented with a series of 14 video clips which feature apiece day road scenes. In apiece clip there’ll be at least one developing hazard, but one of the clips will feature two developing hazards.

To achieve a high score you’ll need to reply to the developing endanger during the primeval part of its development. The maximum you can score on apiece endanger is five.

You won’t be healthy to review your answers to the endanger insight test; as on the road, you’ll only have one chance to reply to the developing hazard.

The pass mark for the automobile and motorcycle endanger insight part of the theory test is 44 out of 75

After the Test

At the end of the endanger insight part of the theory test you’ll be invited to reply a number of customer survey questions.

You don’t have to reply the questions whether you don’t want to, and any information given is anonymous and confidential. The survey questions don’t affect the result of the test.

When you have completed the test you might leave the examination room. Once you have left the room, you’ll not be granted to enter it again. You’ll then be given your result by the test centre staff.

How to prepare

We advise you to have taken some driving lessons with an teacher before before taking your Theory Test. We would also advocate that you do some Practice Theory Tests on software or on our website Theory Test Pass. It will also grant you to practice your Hazard Perception.
