The Theory Test comprises of two
elements: Multiple Choice and Hazard Perception.
Theory Test Preparation - We have devised a classroom course to help with both parts of the Theory test, producing excellent results from candidates.
Candidates who have taken our classroom course have a pass rate in excess of 90% (Whereas the national pass rate is around 50%). We therefore strongly recommend our course to all our pupils.
We also recommend that you purchase training materials approved by the D.S.A.
The Multiple Choice section asks
50 questions. You must answer 43 correctly to pass.
The Hazard Perception Test consists of 14 video clips in which there are 15 Developing
Hazards. You must identify all 15 hazards to pass this element. During your driving lessons you will be actively encouraged to identify hazards well in
advance by your Instructor.
You must pass both parts of the Test in one 'sitting' otherwise you will have to re-take both parts of the Theory Test.
The Practical Test
At the start of the Test, candidates will be asked 2 'show-and-tell' car safety questions. to demonstrate a basic knowledge of vehicle safety.
Candidates may be asked about:- tyres, braking system, engine coolant, windscreen washer fluid, lights, oil or steering.
The driving part of the Test lasts for approximately 45 minutes and the Examiner will try to encompass as many different road types as time and route will allow.
Candidates are allowed a maximum of 15 errors which are considered to be minor in nature, these errors are called driving faults.
Candidates must not commit any errors which are considered to be serious or dangerous. Any fault in either of these categories will result in failure of the Test. If too many errors are committed in the dangerous category, or an error occurs which is regarded as very dangerous, the Test may be terminated
early in the interests of public safety.
