Theory Tests

Before you can apply to take your practical driving test, you must first pass a theory test. This theory test comprises of two sections, both of which must be passed at the same sitting:
A multiple choice question and answer paper, where you must acheive at least 30/35 to pass.

A Hazard perception test that comprises of a series of fourteen video clips where developing hazards must be identified. In this section you must score at least 44/75 to pass

You will take both sections of the theory test at the test centre using a touch screen computer and mouse.

We can provide help and advice on passing your theory test, from guidance on which books and CD-ROMS to use through to one to one tuition. We have hazard perception and theory training software available to use in-car.

There are three types of fault:
