Theory Test

Part 1 — Multiple choice

Your theory test has two parts: 50 multiple-choice questions and a hazard perception test. The pass mark is 43/50 for the multiple choice and 44/75 for hazard perception. Both parts are taken on a computer, and you must pass both before you can book your practical test.

Before the test begins you get on-screen instructions and an optional practice session. Each question has several answer options, and some need more than one answer. If you are unsure you can “flag” a question and return to it later. You have up to 57 minutes, and the pass mark is 43 out of 50.

Part 2 — Hazard perception

You will watch 14 short clips of everyday road scenes, each with at least one developing hazard (one clip has two). Click as soon as a hazard starts developing — the earlier you spot it, the higher your score, up to five per clip. The pass mark is 44 out of 75. The two-part theory test costs £23 and can be taken at Castle Circus House in Torquay.
