The Bright Red L Driving School


	Theory Test ________________________________________________________________________________________ The first test you will have to take is the Theory Test. You will need to pass this test before you can book your Practical Test. The Theory Test is a computer based test taken at one of the local Theory Test Centre's. It lasts 1 hour, the first 40 minutes is a multiple choice test of 35 questions and you have to correctly answer 30 or more to pass. The second part, the Hazard Perception Test, consists of 14 video clips viewed from a drivers perspective and you have to click the mouse when you see an emerging hazard. Your score depends on how quickly you spot the hazards and click the mouse. You have to pass both tests together to gain your pass certificate. You will need to revise for your Theory Test and although your Instructor will be able to assist you with advice The Big Red L recommends you use one of the CD ROM's available to help. You can revise, do sample tests and monitor your score. Also, you can practice the Hazard Perception element of the test. Use the link on this page to purchase a CD ROM from Amazon. When you are confident enough to take your test you can book on line by visiting the Driving Standards Agency web site and selecting online booking. There is also plenty of further advice there about the Theory Test.
