What is a Theory Test?
Driving Theory Tests in the UK consist of two main sections:
-
A Multiple Choice
-
and A Hazard Perception
It is required that you pass both sections in order to pass your theory test and along with your practical test, gain your full driving licence.
Every lessson with Pass Right Motoring School contains an element of driving theory and hazard perception to ensure that you know the facts before taking the test.
We will help you from day one with your theory and hazard perception test, we have commentary driving techniques that will help you spot traffic signs whilst driving. We also use in car aids such as books, cd roms and mock test sheets to help you pass the Theory and Hazard perception tests.
Part one - multiple choice
Before the test starts you'll be given instructions o
n 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.
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 - The Hazard perception test
The hazard perception part is delivered on a computer and you respond by clicking a button on the mouse. You will be presented with a series of video clips which feature every day road scenes. In each clip there will be at least one developing hazard, but one of the clips will feature two developing hazards.
To achieve a high score you will need to respond to the developing hazard during the early part of its development. The maximum you can score on each hazard is five.
Recognition of available clues and perception of danger are skills that are necessary in all drivers and riders, irrespective of the vehicle used. For this reason, the same version of the hazard perception test is used for all categories of test.
