ATTENDING YOUR THEORY TEST
When you arrive at the theory test center, you will be asked to sign in and show your driving licence. You will then be given a short briefing on what to expect during the test.
The test itself is made up of two parts – the multiple-choice part and the hazard perception part.
After the multiple-choice part of the test, you will have a short break before starting the hazard perception part. This part of the test is designed to assess your ability to spot potential hazards on the road.
You will be shown 14 video clips, each lasting around one minute. Each clip will feature one or more developing hazards. You need to click the mouse button as soon as you see a hazard developing that could cause the driver to take action, such as changing speed or direction.
You will score up to five points for each hazard, depending on how early you spot it. To pass, you need to score 44 out of 75.
