Test & Info, A driving theory test must be passed before a learner driver can book a practical driving test. The theory test is in two parts; a multi-choice question test followed by a hazard perception test. It takes around one hour to complete the theory test.<\/p>\n

Because the driving test waiting times have been up to three or four months recently, we would advise theory test candidates to prepare for and take their theory test soon after starting a course of driving lessons.\u00a0 practical tests can be done the moment a theory test has been passed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

you need A minimum score of 43 out of 50 to pass the question part of the test. Usually, there are four possible answers to each question, one of which will be correct. You have 57 minutes to complete this part.<\/p>\n<\/div>

A score of 44 out of 75 is necessary to pass the hazard perception element. There will be fourteen film clips each lasting around one minute. Each clip will have at least one moving hazard. The faster you respond to the developing hazard, the higher your score for that clip. A maximum of five points are available for each of the fifteen hazards. In the theory test is now all computer-generated imagery.<\/p>\n

You must pass both parts of the test on the same day. You will receive your result very soon after completing the test.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
