Theory Test

The theory test consists of two parts - a question part and a hazard perception part. Both parts have to be passed at the same time. The theory test must be passed before you can apply for the practical driving test. The Theory Test is carried out at:

Workington Theory Test Centre,
Solway House
Oxford Street
Workington
Cumbria
CA14 2AL

Questions
The first part of the theory test involves 50 multiple choice questions on a touch screen computer. The pass mark is 43 out of 50. 

Hazard Perception (HPT)
When you've completed the questions, there will be a short delay and then the Hazard perception test will start. The test consists of 14 clips of film each lasting around 30 or 40 seconds. In total there are 15 "developing hazards" that you will need to identify. The sooner you identify the scoring hazards, the higher your score. There is a maximum of 5 points per scoring hazard. You just need to click the mouse, not move the mouse cursor over the hazard. The pass mark is 44 out of 75.
At Roz's Driving School we can provide full advice and support for both aspects of the theory test.
