Taking your theory
test
The multiple choice part is delivered using a touch screen
computer and the hazard perception part records your responses
through the use of a computer mouse button.
If you pass one part and fail the other you'll fail the whole
test, and you'll need to take both parts again.
The questions in each multiple choice test vary according to the
category of vehicle you're hoping to obtain a licence for, ie a
motorcycle theory test will contain specific questions that
don't appear in any other test.
For the hazard perception test there are no separate versions
for different vehicles, each vehicle category takes the same
test, however the pass mark is different for different
categories of tests.
Why has the test changed?
Each year around 3,400 people are killed on Britain's
roads. New drivers take much longer to recognise hazardous situations than
more experienced drivers, and many driving test candidates have poor
scanning and anticipation skills.
These skills are vital for safe driving. By introducing
the new hazard perception part to the test, we hope to encourage more
drivers to develop hazard perception skills while they are still learning to
drive.
Part
one - multiple choice_____________________________________________________
What is the multiple choice part of the test?
Before the test starts
you'll be given instructions on how the test works.
You can also choose to go through a practice session of the multiple choice
questions to get used to the layout of the test. At the end of the practice
session the real test will begin.
A question and several answer options will appear onscreen and you have to
select the correct answer to the question by touching the screen. Some
questions may require more than one answer.
For cars and motorcycles you'll be asked 50 questions in 57 minutes and the
pass mark is 43 out of 50.
For lorries and buses you'll be asked 60 questions in 70 minutes and the
pass mark is 51 out of 60.
You can navigate between questions and 'flag' questions that you want to
come back to later in the test. After the multiple choice part you can
choose to have a break of up to three minutes before the hazard perception
part starts.
Part two - hazard
perception___________________________________________________
How does the hazard perception part work?
After a break of up to three minutes, the hazard perception part will
start. You will be shown a tutorial video first. This uses sample footage
with a sound track (headphones supplied), which will explain how to complete
this part of the test. You may repeat the tutorial once more if you wish.
The test consists of 14 video clips, each lasting about one minute. The
clips feature various types of hazards, such as vehicles, pedestrians and
road conditions. You should respond by pressing a mouse button as soon as
you see a hazard developing that may result in the driver having to take
some action, such as changing speed or direction. The earlier the developing
hazard is spotted, and a response made, the higher the score.
Candidates can score up to five marks on each hazard and the test
contains 15 score able hazards.
The pass mark for this part of the test is 44 out of
75 for car drivers and motorcycle riders.
At the end of the
test_________________________________________________________
At the end of the hazard
perception part of the theory test you'll be invited to answer a
number of customer survey questions.
You don't have to answer the questions if you don't want to, and
any information given is anonymous and confidential. The survey
questions don't affect the result of the test.
When you have finished the test you may leave the examination
room. Once you have left the room, you'll not be allowed to
enter it again. You'll then be given your result by the test
centre staff.
