What do I need to study for the theory test?

What is a mock theory test?

A mock theory test imitates the official DVSA theory test you will take as part of getting a UK driving license.

There are different theory tests for drivers of cars, motorcycles, lorries, buses and coaches. The multiple choice questions in this mock theory test relate to the car theory test. These are the official revision test questions which we have reproduced here under licence from the DVSA.

The official car theory test you will take has 50 questions. In order to pass you will need to get 43 out of 50 correct – or 86%. There is also a hazard perception test in which you will view videos and identify hazards.

The test isn’t supposed to be unnecessarily difficult or try to trick you. It is just to ensure you have an appropriate level of understanding of the rules of the road necessary to drive safely in the UK.

You are normally eligible to take the car theory test from your 17^th birthday onwards.

What do I need before sitting my theory test?

Your need to get your provisional driving licence before you can sit your theory test. This allows you to practise driving a car providing you have someone supervising you while you are driving. This may be a driving instructor or someone else who meets the rules e.g. family or friends. You can drive on all road types except for motorways. Whenever you are driving a car you must ensure that you display ‘L’ plates to show other drivers that you are a learner driver.

You can apply for your provisional driving licence from the age of 16 years and 9 months here.

The steps to theory test success

Before your theory test

Once you have a provisional driving license, you are able to get behind the wheel of a car. However, you must be supervised by a qualified driver at all times.

Many people find using a qualified driving instructor is a good option. Whatever you choose to do, ensure you’re learning from a good driver so you can instil good driving habits that will serve you well over the rest of your life.

The theory test itself

The first real test in your journey to become a driver is the theory test. This can be daunting and it’s certainly not something to take lightly. A lot of people don't take it seriously enough and that’s why there is such a low pass rate. But if you do the appropriate amount of study then you will be much more likely to succeed.
