Theory Test

If you’re a learner driver, you must pass the theory test

About the driving theory test

We incorporate the latest technologies in our teaching methods to ensure that our students are well-equipped to handle the challenges of modern driving.

The multiple-choice section

In the multiple-choice section, you'll face 50 questions covering various aspects of the Highway Code. Before this part of the test, we'll ensure you understand how it works and give you the opportunity to practice with a sample question. Our expert instructors will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to tackle the questions effectively.

The hazard perception section

The hazard perception section evaluates your ability to identify developing hazards on the road. You'll watch 14 video clips featuring different driving scenarios. Your task is to spot potential hazards and respond by clicking the mouse. Each hazard carries a maximum of five points if identified promptly. Prior to this section, we'll provide a comprehensive video tutorial to familiarize you with the process.

Pass Requirements

To pass the theory test, you'll need to answer at least 43 out of 50 multiple-choice questions correctly. For the hazard perception part, a minimum score of 44 out of 75 points is required. If you fail either part, both parts must be retaken, with a mandatory 3-day waiting period before the next attempt.

Test Duration

The theory test consists of two sections. You will have 57 minutes to complete the multiple-choice questions and an additional 20 minutes for the hazard perception test. A short break of up to 3 minutes is allowed between the two sections. It is recommended to allocate around 2 hours for the entire test, including sign-in, practice questions, and result waiting time.

Test Fees

The cost of the driving theory test is £23. In addition, you need to possess a provisional license, which can be obtained by applying online for £34. Alternatively, you can apply by post using the D1 form available at your local post office, with a fee of £43.
