Theory Test

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.

The multiple choice part is delivered using a touch screen computer and the hazard perception part records your responses through the use of a computer mouse button.
If you pass one part and fail the other you'll fail the whole test, and you'll need to take both parts again.

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

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 hazard perception part of the theory test is 44 out of 75.
