Taking The Theory Test
Before you can apply for your practical test you need to pass the theory test, which is made up of two parts: multiple-choice questions and a hazard perception section. The fee covers both parts of the test.
Theory tests costs decrease from 1 October 2014. The fee for car and motorcycle theory tests have now fallen from £31 to £25 for tests taken from 1 October 2014. You can book tests at the new price now.
You need a valid provisional driving licence to take your theory test. Once you've got that, you can book your theory and hazard perception tests online, or by phone on 0870 0101 372
The Theory Test
The first part of your theory test is a multiple-choice section designed to test your understanding of the rules of the road, including signs, road markings and appropriate reactions to situations. You'll have 57 minutes to answer 50 questions, and need to correctly answer 43 or more to pass.
Questions are chosen at random from a bank of over 1,000 possibilities, and you will be given some questions in the form of a case study. During the test you’ll have the option to skip questions and return to them later.
The Hazard Perception Test
For this you'll watch a series of 14 one-minute video clips, each showing potential hazards involving road conditions, pedestrians or road users. You respond to each hazard by clicking the mouse button. There are 15 hazards to identify and you can score up to 5 points on each one, depending on how quickly you identify them. You need to score 44 out of 75 to pass.
Be Prepared
For both sections of the test you'll need to study The Highway Code .Theory Test Pro is one of the online tools that we recommend that is a highly realistic online simulation of the UK's driving theory tests for all vehicle categories. Theory Test Pro can be accessed via the link below.
