Your driving test consists of two parts– the Theory Test and the Practical Test. You will need to complete and pass your Theory examination before you can book your Practical Test.

 

Theory test.

This is a computerised examination consisting of 50 multiple choice questions (43 correct to pass) and 14 hazard perception clips (44 out of 75 to pass). To prepare for this test you will need to learn the official DSA highway code. It is also advisable to obtain an official DSA theory pack. This will take you through every possible question to ensure you are ready for the exam and the practise DVD included will prepare you for the hazard perception part of the test.
