Theory Test
This part consists of 35 multiple choice questions covering a wide range of driving topics. By touching the screen you select an answer, or answers, from the selection shown. To pass you must answer 30 or more questions correctly in 40 minutes.
You have the option of working through a practice session lasting up to 15 minutes to get used to the system before starting the actual test.
Hazard Perception Test
After a break of up to three minutes, the hazard perception part will start. You will be shown a tutorial video first. This uses sample footage with a sound track (headphones supplied), which will explain how to complete this part of the test. You may repeat the tutorial once more if you wish.
The test consists of 14 video clips, each lasting about one minute. The clips feature various types of hazards, such as vehicles, pedestrians and road conditions. You should respond by pressing a mouse button as soon as you see a hazard developing that may result in the driver having to take some action such as changing speed or direction. The earlier the developing hazard is spotted and a response made, the higher the score.
Candidates can score up to five marks on each hazard, and the test contains 15 scoreable hazards.
