The theory test is made up of two parts; the multiple choice part and the hazard perception part. You need to pass both parts to pass the theory test. Once you have passed the theory test you can then apply to take your practical driving test.

 

I am happy to assist you in any way I can, however to pass this it will require dedicated time allocated for Home Study for you to focus on acheiving the required standard.

There are various companies that provide services for this study time, and most can be uploaded on to your home P.C.

Or you can go online and practice on the DSA official homepage, the advantage of using this option it is very similar to the actual test.

Part one - multiple choice

Before the test starts you'll be given instructions on how the test works.

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.

For cars and motorcycles you'll be asked 50 questions in 57 minutes and the pass mark is 43 out of 50.

Part two - hazard perception

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.

The pass mark for the car and motorcycle hazard perception part of the theory test is 44 out of 75. For lorries and buses the pass mark is 50 out of 75.
