If you've got your provisional license then you're ready to start on the road to becoming a safe and responsible driver!
The theory test is your first test to pass and is a computerised touch-screen, mutiple choice test,

"50 multiple choice questions of which you have to get at least 43 correct" 

with also an added hazard perception test. They both have to be passed with flying colours before you can even apply for the practical
driving test .
 


The theory test is made up of 50 multiple choice questions of which you have to get at least 43 correct, all from a question bank of over one thousand! Like most tests its best to be prepared and brush up on your road knowledge beforehand.
Part of the theory test is now made up of a case study. This is explained in more detail in the video below, but is still based around your theory knowledge.
Taking driving lesson's with a World Driving driving instructor will help with your theory and recommended reading material can be found here - 'essentials '. Also test yourself on one of our free mock theory tests, over 300 mock questions!
 
 

 There are different categories in the theory test, which include:        
       
 

 Alertness, 
 Attitude, 
 Safety and your vehicle and safety margins 
 Hazard awareness 
 Vulnerable road users 
 General rules of the road, including motorways 
 Traffic signs and road markings 
 Care in the use of vehicle controls and fuel efficient driving 
 Legal documents 
 Accident procedure, including first aid 
 Vehicle handling & loading 
 Other types of vehicle

You may get more questions in one category more than others so be prepared.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
Hazard Perception Test.

Once you've got through the theory test you will then go on to the hazard perception test. This 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 you pressing the mouse button, the higher the score.

You can score up to five marks on each hazard and the test contains 15 scoreable hazards. The pass mark for this part of the test is 44 out of 75. Various CD-Rom's and DVD's are also available to help you get through this test.
 
 
 


  You have to pass both the theory and the hazard perception in the same sitting or it will result in a fail.

You will be given your results at the end of the test. If you have passed then you will get a pass certificate which expires within two years, so you will have to pass your
practical test within that time.

Good luck!
