Home	Theory Tests The theory test is made up of two parts; the multiple choice part and the hazard perception part. The multiple choice part is delivered using a touch screen computer and mouse and the hazard perception part records your responses through the use of a computer mouse button. You need to pass both parts to pass the theory test. If you pass one part and fail the other you will fail the whole test, and you will need to take both parts again. You need to pass the theory test before you can apply for the practical test. Once you pass the theory test it is only valid for 2 years. Part one - multiple choice This consists of 35 multiple choice questions on the highway code. The pass mark for the multiple choice part of the theory test is 30 out of 35. Part 2 - hazard perception You will be presented with a series of 14 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. The pass mark for the hazard perception part of the theory test is 44 out of 75 Much of the learning for both parts of the theory test is self taught, and Robert has recommended books, CD Roms, videos and DVDs to help you through the theory test. You can book your theory test online or call the DSA on 0870 01 01 372 Details of the Stoke-on-Trent theory test centre can be found here Full details of the both parts of the theory test can be found on the DSA website Details of the current test fees can be found here Check out the useful websites page, for links to mock multiple choice and and hazard perception tests and lots of other further information, hints and tips
