You must take both parts of your provisional licence with you to the Test Centre
You must have your Theory Pass Certificate before you can apply for your Practical
test.
The Theory Test is computer based and is in two parts. Both parts must be passed
at the same test session. It will last just under an hour.
- Part 1 consists of 50 questions with multiple choice answers. The questions are answered
by touching the appropriate answer(s) on the computer screen. The questions are devised
to test your knowledge of the "rules of the road" and best driving practice. You
must get at least 43 questions right to pass.
- Part 2 is the Hazard Perception Test (HPT). Using the same computer you will be shown
14 video clips that have been filmed from the viewpoint of the driver of a moving
car. You are required to spot 15 "developing hazards". As soon as you spot the hazard
you click the mouse button. The earlier you click the mouse button the more points
you score ranging from 5 down to zero per hazard. You must score at least 44 to pass.
If you click the mouse button repeatedly, you will get a zero mark.
You will be given your result a few minutes after you have completed the Theory Test
and if you have passed you will receive your certificate. You will need this to book
your Practical Test
If you need help with your Theory Test preparation, we have various CDs and question
papers to hand.
