As you start to learn to drive the first test you will have to pass is the drivingtheory test. This is made up of two parts. The first part is the multiple choice questions. There is a bank of 970 questions and you will be asked a random set of 50 of which you will need to answer at least 43 of these correctly to pass the first part of this test. The test is conducted using the very lastest in touch screen technology which you use to select the answers from the screen there is also an option to flag any questions you are not sure about and can come back to later before finishing the test.
The second part is the hazard perception test. This is a short video clip lasting approximately 1 minute in which you will have to spot hazards as they develop on the road in front of you. You will score points by clicking on the mouse when you see a developing hazard. This could be anything from a pedestrian about to step out on the road or a car making a late turn in front of you. You will be awarded points for spotting the hazard and these range from 5 for spotting the hazard at its earliest point down to 0 for spottting it to late or not at all.
The system also has a built in cheat detector which will disallow constant or rhythmical clcking throughout the clip. Generaly it is best to click when you spot a potential hazard and then again when it devlops and possibly once more to make sure of a score. You will have 57 minutes in total to complete both parts of the theory test and when you have finished a few minutes later you will be presented with a piece of paper giving you the verdict
You will need to keep the certificate in a safe place as you may need to produce it when you go for your practical test later.
There are anumber of resources available for you to practice for your theory test and a umber of online theory test websites that can help with your revision.
