What is the multiple choice part of the test?

This part consists of 50 multiple choice questions covering a wide range of driving topics. By touching the screen you select an answer, or answers, from the selection shown. To pass you must answer 43 or more questions correctly in 57 minutes.
You have the option of working through a practice session lasting up to 15 minutes to get used to the system before starting the actual test.

Preparing for the theory test

We strongly recommend that all candidates prepare thoroughly for the test. To help prepare we recommend The Highway Code, relevant books from our Essential Skills series and Know Your Traffic Signs. The official theory test books and CD-Roms contain the multiple choice questions. The CD-Roms show screens similar to those used in the multiple choice part of the test and information about hazard perception.

Being a safe driver with good hazard perception skills means being able to use speed correctly, keeping the correct distance between yourself and other road users, scanning the road effectively, anticipating and planning for potential hazards.
All these skills can be taught effectively, through theory and hazard perception practice as well as practical experience gained through your lessons with your qualified instructor.
