The Theory Test
A common misconception is that you have to pass your theory test before you can start to take driving lesson.
This is not the case - You can start taking driving lessons before you take your theory test. However, you cannot apply for the practical driving test until you have passed the theory test.

What does the test cover?
The theory test is made up of two parts, the multiple choice part and the hazard perception part. The multiple choice part is delivered using a touch screen computer and mouse and the hazard perception
part records your responses through the use of a computer mouse button.
You need to pass both parts to pass the theory test. If you pass one part and fail the other you will fail the whole test, and you will need to take both parts again. Relevant literatures are available
to read during theory test revision time. Click here to view our recommended reading material. |

First Part - Multiple Choice
Before the test starts you will be given instructions on how the test works. You can also choose to go through a practice session of the multiple choice questions to get used to the layout of the test. At the end of the practice session the real test will begin.
A question and several answer options will appear on-screen and you have to select the correct answer to the question by touching the screen. Some questions may require more than one answer.
You will be asked 50 questions in 57 minutes. You can navigate between questions and 'flag' questions that you want to come back to later in the test.

Second Part - Hazard Awareness
You will be shown a short tutorial video clip about how the hazard perception test works.
The hazard perception test is also delivered on a computer but you respond by clicking on the mouse.
You will be presented with a series of 14 video clips that feature every day road scenes. In each clip there will be at least one developing hazard, but one of the clips will feature two developing hazards.
To achieve a high score you will need to respond to the developing hazard during the early part of its development. The maximum you can score on each hazard is five.
You will not be able to review your answers to the hazard perception test, as on the road, you will only have one chance to respond to the developing hazard.
Pass mark required: 44/75
