The Driving Theory Test
At Hadley School of Motoring, we understand how nerve-racking it can be to prepare for the driving theory test. Endlessly asking yourself, have I remembered everything from the Highway Code or what does that sign mean again?
That’s why we’re dedicated to empowering all learners and giving you the confidence to go into your test fully prepared with our Online Theory Workshops.
There are 2 parts to the DVSA Theory Test:
• Multiple-choice questions
• Hazard Perception – a video test about spotting hazards on the road
You book and take both parts as a single test and must pass both parts to pass the theory test.
You have 57 minutes to answer 50 multiple-choice questions.
You’ll then watch 14 video clips. The clips:
feature everyday road scenes and contain at least one ‘developing hazard’ – but one of the clips features 2 developing hazards!
You get points for spotting the developing hazards as soon as they start to happen.
Did you know the National Average Pass rate for 2022/23 was 44%?
