About the theory test
The theory test is a touchscreen based test, and consists of two parts. The first
part is a series of multiple choice questions and the second part is a test of your
hazard perception skills. It is the multiple choice part that you can
practice on this site, and with the use of our training platform you will gain the
biggest advantage to successfully succeed.
The multiple choice part consists of 50 multiple choice questions.
In the actual test you select your answers by simply touching the screen. You need
to touch the box alongside the answer or answers you think are correct. If you change
your mind and don't want that answer to be selected, touch it again. You can then
choose another answer.
The test enviroment on this site is as follows:
A question and several answer options will appear onscreen and you have to select
the correct answer(s) to the question by using the mouse. Some questions may require
more than one answer.
There are 50 questions and you have 57 minutes to complete the test. You can navigate
to previous questions throughout the test, but you must answer the question before
moving forward.
The pass mark for the multiple choice part of the theory test is 43 out of 50.
The hazard perception part is delivered on a computer and you respond
by clicking a button on the mouse. You will be presented with a series of 14 video
clips which 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.
The pass mark for the car and motorcycle hazard perception part of the theory test
is 44 out of 75.
Info: From the 3rd of September 2007 the DSA theory test increased from 35 to 50 questions. The pass mark
is now 43 and must be completed within 57 minutes
