  • Make sure you recap the hardest topics such as stopping distances, reflective studs, essential documents, emergency vehicles and safety in your vehicle.
  • Make sure you’re passing at least 5 mock Theory Tests consecutively and have at least 5 minutes to spare at the end of each one.

What do I need to take to the Theory Test with me?

You’ll need your UK provisional driving licence with you to be allowed to take the Theory Test. So, make sure you know where it is as a new one can take up to 15 days to arrive!

If you’ve lost it, here’s where you can get a new driving licence and here’s where you can rearrange your Theory Test (you must give at least 3 clear working days’ notice).

You can’t take any personal items into the test room with you. Here’s what you can’t take in with you.

  • Mobile phones
  • Earphones
  • Watches
  • Bags

Basically, you can’t take anything in with you that you could use to cheat the system!

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!
