Theory Test
About the Theory Test

Before the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) will allow you to book a practical driving test, you are required to pass a Theory Test.  (Of course, you are allowed to have driving lessons before taking the theory test, provided you have your provisional license).  The test involves two phases: (1) answering 50 multiple choice questions; and (2) taking a hazard perception test.

The multiple choice section involves answering questions using a touch screen computer and mouse. The hazard perception section records your responses (through the use of a computer mouse button) to developing hazards presented in video clips.

The pass mark is 43 out of 50 for the multiple choice questions and 44 out of 75 for the hazard perception.  You need to pass both parts to pass the theory test. If you pass one part and fail the other you will fail the whole test, and you will need to take both parts again.
