You must pass both elements to pass your test. If you fail either the existing multiple choice section or the new hazard perception test you will fail the whole test.

Theory Tests

The Theory Test for Car Drivers and Motorcyclists was introduced in July 1996. It is designed to improve the safety of newly qualified riders and drivers by making them think carefully about the right attitudes needed to drive safely on today's busy roads.

Areas of assessment include

To pass the exam you must answer at least 30 out of 35 multiple-choice questions correctly. To help you study and prepare for your theory test the Driving Standards Agency produce the Official Theory Test for Car Drivers containing the questions and answers. This is updated annually.
A CD-Rom containing all the questions in the question bank is also available.

The core material for the theory test questions are taken from the following DSA publications

The Highway Code
Driving - the Essential Skills
Know Your Traffic Signs

It is important that you study - not only to pass the test - but also to become a safe driver. More information about the books available can be found by visiting our Publications section.

When you take the theory test, you’ll be asked some specific questions regarding the category of vehicle being tested, as well as questions that apply to all road users.

Weekday, evening and Saturday test sessions are available. Arrangements can be made for candidates with special needs. You must tell Booking Section Staff about your special needs when you book your test.

The touch screen theory test has been specially designed to make the test more accessible to the general public. It is particularly helpful to people with special needs. All that you need to do is touch the screen to indicate which answer(s) you think are correct.
