Driving Theory Test and Hazard Perception Test.
The multiple choice section consists of 35
questions which you will be required to answer in 40 minutes. This part of the
test requires you to answer the questions by touching the correct box on the
actual computer screen. The system is very easy to use and before you actually
start the test, you have the option of a 15 minute practice session before the
real test begins.
Throughout the test you have the option to flag any questions that you would
like to come back to a bit later on. Therefore, when you've reached question 35,
you can go back to any that you've flagged. Also make sure you use all the time
available to go over all the questions again just in case you've made any
obvious mistakes. The PASS MARK for this section is 30 out of 35.
When you have finished the multiple choice section you can have a 3 minute break
before the Hazard Perception section starts.
Don't Forget! When taking your driving theory test you will need to ensure you take your provisional license, if this is not a photo license a form of identification, i.e. passport, will also be needed along with your appointment card. Don't leave home without them, or you will not be allowed to do the test!
Hazard Perception Test!
The hazard
perception element of the Driving Theory Test was introduced by the The Driving
Standards Agency (D.S.A.) on 14th November 2002. This new test will be taken at
the same time as the theory test and will take about an extra 20 minutes. The
object is to identify up to 15 hazards as quickly as possible from 14 video
clips (out of a possible 200 video clips available to the D.S.A.), and you will
have to pass this before being let loose on the practical test.
Before the real Hazard perception test begins you have a tutorial which shows
what you need to do for the test, and after if required you can repeat this
tutorial one more
