Multiple Choice

The multiple choice part of the test consists of 50 questions covering various driving topics.   The questions appear on a computer screen and you touch the screen to select your answer or answers from the selection given.  To pass this element, you have to answer a minimum of 43 questions correctly in the 57  minutes allowed.  You will be given the opportunity to work through a practice session lasting up to 15 minutes to familiarise yourself with the system before the test.

 

Hazard Perception

The hazard perception part of the test commences after a break of up to three minutes.  You are shown a tutorial video first that explains how the test works.  For this part of the test, you will need to wear the headphones provided.  The test itself consists of 14 video clips of around a minute each.

Each clip contains numerous hazards including parked cars, pedestrians, moving vehicles and so on.   When you see a hazard developing that might result in the driver having to take some action, specifically changing speed or direction, you should click the mouse.  The earlier you respond to the situation arising, the better and the higher you will score.  The maximum score for each hazard is 5.  13 of the 14 clips contain one hazard with the other clip containing two.  You need to score a minimum of 44 points in the hazard perception part of the test to pass.

 

Well Done, Now you have passed!

 

Once both parts of the test have been taken, you will be given your results before you leave the test centre.  You must pass both the multiple choice and hazard perception parts at the same time to achieve an overall pass.  Scoring 50 on the multiple choice is insufficient to pass overall if you only score 43 on the hazard perception.
