What’s in the Theory Test?
There are two parts to your 2020 Theory Test:
Multiple-choice questions – 57 minutes long, 50 questions, and you need 43 correct answers to pass.
Hazard Perception Test– 14 x 1-minute videos – you need 44 points out of 75 to pass.
You’ll need to pass both parts of the Theory Test to get your hands on a certificate!
The multiple-choice part of the exam is straightforward; simply get 43 of the 50 questions correct to pass. Some of the questions are case study questions, which will be about a real-life situation you could come across when driving.
The Hazard Perception Test is the more interactive part of the test; in this section, you’ll have to watch 14 one-minute clips which feature at least one developing hazard.
The DVSA wants to keep you on your toes by featuring two developing hazards in one of the videos, so watch out for that one.
You need to click the mouse whenever you see a hazard developing. Each hazard carries a maximum score of five, and you’ll gain more points for spotting hazards earlier!
