Before you can book a practical driving test, you must pass the theory test.

There are two sections to your theory test.

Section one

This part of the test consists of 50 multiple choice questions and you must score 43 or more to pass.

The test is conducted on a touch screen computer. The question and a selection of answers will appear on the screen - all you have to do is touch the screen on the answer(s) you deem to be correct. You have the option to change your answer if you make a mistake and also to go back to previous questions if you wish to recheck your answers.

You have 57 minutes to complete this part of the test and you will be given full instructions on how to operate the screen aswell as a short practice session before you begin.

Section two

This is the hazard perception part of the test. This is also delivered on the computer but you respond by clicking a button on the mouse. You will 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.

You won`t be able to review your answers to the hazard perception test; as on the road, you`ll only have one chance to respond to the developing hazard.

The pass mark for the hazard perception part of the theory test is 44 out of 75.

Once You have completed both sections you will be given your results immediatly. You must pass both sections at the same time to achevie a Pass Certificate.
