TESTS

This page links you to the Theory Test. Show Me Tell Me Test and the Driving Test

The Tests you'll take

• The test is in two parts
• 50 randomly selected multiple choice questions
• Followed by the Hazard Perception Test which involves a series of video clips
• Within each video clip you will be asked to identify hazards that develop
• Both parts of the test must be passed at the same time
• Fail one part and you'll have to take both parts again

• It's unlikely that you'll succeed unless you are fully prepared
• There is a variety of books and software available
• You'll find a useful link on this site

• You can apply for the Theory Test once you have a Provisional Licence
• You can do this on 0870 0101 372. Expect long and expensive delays in getting through to the DSA
• You might find it easier and cheaper to apply online at dsa.gov.uk
• Make sure you have your Driving Licence ready when you book

• You must pass the Theory Test before applying for a Driving Test
• Make sure you are ready before you take your Driving Test
• The Driving Standards Agency has an appalling record when it comes to providing Driving Tests. Waiting times are around 10 weeks (November 2005)
• This has caused panic bookings amongst candidates and many have taken and failed their tests long before they were ready
• The DSA doesn't mind, it gets £45.50 for each attempt

• You can only apply for a Driving Test once you have passed your Theory Test
• You apply just as you did for the Theory Test
• Have both your Driving Licence and Theory Test certificate number ready
