The Tests

Theory Test Overview

The theory test is a computer based test and has a multiple-choice part followed by a hazard perception part. The DSA theory test has been increased from 35 to 50 questions. You need to pass both parts of the theory test at the same sitting to get your theory test pass certificate.

For the multiple-choice part you choose your answers to 50 questions by simply touching the screen. The touch screen system is designed to make it easy to use in case you are unfamiliar with computer use. You can practice for up to 15 minutes ahead of the test starting and the test centre staff will deal with any difficulties in using the system.

You have 57 minutes to answer at least 43 of the 50 questions correctly. For example:

Which Three of the following are most likely to waste fuel?

You are driving at 70mph on a three lane motorway. There is no traffic ahead. Which lane should you use?

The test moves on to film clips in which learner drivers are required to pass a hazard perception test which forms part of the driving theory test. In the Hazard Perception test you will be shown a series of video clips of real road scenes featuring potential hazards. You will be tested on how soon you spot the danger. Again using the computer system to show you have seen the hazard in the road ahead.

At Turn-2-Us we will support and guide you to success with your theory test.

• We provide mock tests and can advise you how to get practice with the hazard perception part.

• All of our 8 mock theory tests have been increased to 50 questions inline with the DSA theory tests.

• We are now issuing discs with our mock theory tests on to all our pupils if they have a computer.

• Alternatively we will e-mail pdf versions if they prefer.

What will the test include?
Apart from general driving, your test will include

You may be asked to carry out an emergency stop exercise.
When you received your Provisional Licence you may recall being supplied a drivers record to chart progress in your driving.
It also details what you need to know in preparing for a test. We use a version of that to enable you and your instructor to chart your progress.

At Turn-2-Us we have the knowledge and experience to tell you when you are ready. That will be when you can drive without assistance and guidance from your instructor.

Beyond the Test we can take you through the Pass Plus scheme for new drivers, which will make you a safer driver and perhaps give you a first taste of Motorway driving.

Apart from advising when to you are ready for a test we can book tests for you. At present the test fees are:
