Pass With Honors - Driving Test Information
The Theory Test
The first part of the theory test is a 57 minute, 50 question multi-choice test based around the Highway code and road safety issues. In order to pass the test you will need to score at least 43 questions correctly.
A question and several answers appear on the screen. You will select your answer(s) by touching the screen. You can change your answer by touching the screen again or even flag it to go back and check later. The system is very easy to use and you can even have a practice session before you start your actual test.
The second part is known as the hazard perception test. This consists of fourteen video clips and is designed to measure your ability to recognize road hazards. Thirteen of the clips contain a single hazard and one contains two.
The pass rate is 44 out of 75. You will need to pass both the multi-choice questions and the hazard awareness test in order to successfully pass the theory test.
You cannot apply for the practical driving test until you have passed the theory test.
The fee to take the theory test is £31.
