Theory Test  
   
You must pass your theory test before you can apply for a practical driving test date.  
   
Your official theory test consists of two sections. The first is a computer based multiple choice question format of 50 questions. 43 or more correct is required to pass this section.  
   
Following the questions section comes the hazard perception test (HPT). A series of video clips are shown on the computer monitor and these are of actual driving scenes shot from within a moving vehicle. The candidate is required to correctly identify within a given time scale, a number of moving or developing hazard situations.  
   
Both sections must be passed at the same test sitting to gain a Theory Test Certificate.  
   
Candidates will be given assistance to prepare for their theory test and your instructor will advise how best to practise and when you will be ready. The candidate normally books this test for themselves
