The Structure
There are 35 multiple choice questions to be answered in up to 40 minutes under exam conditions in a private booth. Candidates must correctly answer 30 questions or more. Most questions require one correct answer from a choice of four or five possible options although some require two or more correct answers with all responses being required to score positively.
Some questions will contain pictures of road signs and road conditions.
The screens are easy to read and only one question will appear on the screen at the time. You will be able to move forwards or backwards through the questions at any time to look at the questions again to complete or to alter your answer.
The new system will inform you if you have not completed your answer fully.
The Hazard Perception Test consists of 14 video clips, each lasting about one minute featuring various types of hazards such as vehicles, pedestrians and road conditions. The candidate must press a mouse button to simulate the motorcyclist taking action such as changing speed or direction in response to a developing hazard. The earlier a developing hazard is detected and an appropriate response made, the higher the score between 1 and 5 for each clip. The pass mark for this part of the test is 42 out of a maximum of 75 as one clip (not declared) has two hazards within it.
You are given their results when they have finished both parts of the test and have returned to the waiting room.
Many theory test centres include facilities for special needs such as specific language requirements, dyslexia and learning difficulties, delivered with special headsets. For those with hearing difficulties, an on-screen video of the test signed in British Sign Language is available, this is asked when booking your Theory Test.
