Theory test

The theory test is a computer based test and consists of two parts hazard perception and a series of multiple choice questions. To obtain a pass you need to pass both sections at the same time. If you fail one or other section you must re take the whole test.

For the multiple choice part of the test you must correctly answer 43 out of a possible 50 multiple choice questions.

For the hazard perception part of the test you must score a minimum of 44 out of a possible 75 points.You will be shown 13 separate clips within which are 15 scorable hazards. You will score up to a maximum of 5 points per clip depending on how quickly you spot and react to the hazard. There is 1 hazard to identify in 12 of the clips and 2 hazards to identify in 1 of the clips.
