The Theory Test

The DVSA theory test is a required, two-part, computer-based exam for learner drivers in Great Britain to pass before taking their practical driving test.  It includes a 50-question multiple-choice section and a 14-clip Hazard Perception test.  Both sections must be passed, with specific scoring requirements for each part, and the test covers a wide range of driving knowledge and safe practices, including rules, signs, road awareness, and vehicle safety. 

What the Test Involves

• Hazard Perception Test: You'll watch 14 video clips showing everyday road situations where a hazard has started to develop. 

• Break: A three-minute break is provided between the two sections. 

• Optional Practice: A 15-minute practice session is available at the start of the test.
