Theory Test

Before you can apply for a driving test you must pass a theory test. This however does not mean you cannot start to learn to drive. The theory test is now in two parts;

The first part comprises of thirty five multiple choice questions of which you must get at least thirty questions correct within a 40 minute period in order to pass this part of the test.

To apply for your theory test you can either fill in an application form, book the test by phoning 0870 0101372 or book online at www.dsa.gov.uk

3. Driving the Essential Skills
   This book is a complete guide to driving and covers most subjects from road law to “manoeuvring”.

The cost of this exam is £21.50 including the Hazard Perception Test, which forms the second part of your theory test.
