If you have an old-style licence without a photo you must also take along a valid passport. Part one - Multiple Choice Before the test starts you'll be given instructions on how the test works. You can also choose 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 answer options will appear onscreen and you have to select the correct answer to the question by touching the screen. Some questions may require more than one answer. You will be asked 50 questions in 57 mins 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 choose to have a break of up to three minutes before the hazard perception part starts.
Part two - Hazard Perception After the break you'll then be shown a short tutorial video clip about how the hazard perception part works. The hazard perception part is also delivered on a computer but you respond by clicking a button on the mouse. You'll be presented with a series of 14 video clips which feature every day road scenes. In each 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 respond to the developing hazard during the early part of its development. The maximum you can score on each hazard is five. You won't be able to review your answers to the hazard perception test; as on the road, you'll only have one chance to respond to the developing hazard. The pass mark for the hazard perception part is 44 out of 75. At the end of the Theory Test At the end of the hazard perception part of the theory test you'll be invited to answer a number of customer survey questions. You don't have to answer the questions if 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 finished the test you may leave the examination room. Once you have left the room, you'll not be allowed to enter it again. You'll then be given your result by the test centre staff.

TIPS ON HOW TO PASS YOUR THEORY TESTLike any exam, the best way to prepare for the theory test is to practice.1. Grab a copy of The Highway Code The Highway Code is a great source of information, after all, it is what the Theory Test is based on. It's better to pace your study, rather than cramming at the last minute. 2. Practice makes perfect There's loads of resources available (Books/Apps/DVDs) to get a proper feel for how the Multiple Choice and Hazard Perception parts of the test work. Doing some practice tests will not only increase your confidence but will highlight the areas you need to go over again! 3. What are the most difficult bits? The questions that many people find harder to get right are in the annexes at the back of the Highway Code, so read these again and again: Motor vehicle documentation, The road user and the law, Penalties, Vehicle maintenance, Safety & security, First aid. Good Luck! |
