Theory & Hazard Perception Test

Although you can start your driving lessons as soon as you have obtained your Provisional Driving Licence, you cannot book the practical driving test until you have passed the Theory exam, the exam is in two parts, Multiple Choice and Hazard Perception.We can offer help and advice on passing both the Multiple Choice and Hazard Perception Tests if required and are able to lend our pupils a copy of "Driving Test" software if required.

The DSA Theory test for car drivers is split into 2 parts. The multiple choice/response quiz and the hazard perception test.

Part 1 - The multiple choice/response quiz
The multiple choice / response quiz for car drivers consists of 50 questions. Associated with each question is a list of potential answers. You need to select the correct answer, or indeed answers, by touching the appropriate area of the computer screen. To pass you need to correctly answer 43 out of the 50 questions.

Before you start the actual quiz a short video tutorial will explain how the quiz should be undertaken. You will also be given the opportunity to complete some practice questions to make sure you are familiar with the computer screens.

Part 2 - Hazard Perception Test
This part of the theory test will start with a short tutorial video played on the computer screen that will explain how the hazard perception test works and what you are required to do. You would then be shown 14 video clips of approximately one minute each. There will be 15 hazards to find - at least one on each clip. However, one clip will have 2 hazards. The clips will not contain any sound.
