This page includes information on the 3 stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The driving theory test is made up of two sections; the questions and answers and the hazard perception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The question section contains 50 multiple choice questions, and you will need to answer at least 43 correctly to pass. The hazard perception test contains 14 short video clips, in which you need to identify developing hazards as earlier as possible. The earlier you spot them the more points you will receive. There is a maximum of 5 points per hazard, with one video clip containing two hazards. To pass this section you will need to score at least 44 points out of the 75 available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will be allowed a maximum of 57minutes to complete both sections, and to get your theory pass certificate, you will need to pass both sections of the test on the same attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can not book your practical test until you have passed the theory test, but you can take practical lessons while studying for the theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
