The
Driving Standards Agency (DSA) recommend that you study the Highway
Code, The Driving Manual and Know your Traffic Signs (all DSA
publications). They also publish The Official Theory Test for Car
drivers and Motorcycles which lays out the whole bank of over 1000
questions and gives advice on why certain answers are correct.
Multi-media CD-ROM's are also available on the market and can make the
whole learning process that little bit more interesting. To cover the
Hazard Perception part of the test there is a 'Roadsense' video.
The
majority have always said that if we could recommend or supply good
quality reading material then they would do the studying at home.
Therefore, your Instructor will have books, practice papers available or
CD's to help you study.
In
addition, your Instructor will randomly ask you questions during your
lessons and is always prepared to explain or clarify any of your
questions.
The
second part of the test, the 'Hazard Perception Test', comprises a
series of 14 video clips chosen at random from a selection of 200. This
test, assesses your ability to identify potential driving hazards as
they develop. The 'Hazard Perception Test' will take approximately
15 minutes. You will be given your results for the tests before you
leave the test centre - remember, you need to pass both the Multiple
Choice Test and Hazard Perception Test in the same session to gain your
certificate.
There are some 150 Theory Test centres around the country, bookings can
be made over the phone using debit/credit cards or otherwise forms are
available for postal applications. In the multiple choice test questions
will appear on the computer screen one at a time and you select the
answers simply by touching the screen. You can return to any of the
questions later and change the answers if you want to. There are 50
questions in the test and you need to answer 43 correctly to pass. You
are allowed 57 minutes for this part of the Theory Test.
