THE THEORY TEST

The Theory Test is made up of two parts.

PART 1
Before the test starts you'll be given instructions on how the test works.

You can also choose to go through a practice session of the multiple choice questions to get used to the layout of the test. At the end of the practice session the real test will begin.

A question and several answer options will appear onscreen and you have to select the correct answer to the question by touching the screen. Some questions may require more than one answer.

For cars and motorcycles you'll be asked 50 questions in 57 minutes and the pass mark is 43 out of 50.

You can navigate between questions and 'flag' questions that you want to come back to later in the test. After the multiple choice part you can choose to have a break of up to three minutes before the hazard perception part starts

PART 2
14 video clips will be shown to the candidate of various road scenes. Within each clip there will be at least one developing hazard. One of the clips will contain two. The sooner the candidate responds to the hazard, the higher the the score. The maximum score for each clip is 5. The pass mark is 44 or more out of a possible 75 marks.

The candidate will be informed of the result at the end of the test. Both parts of the theory test must be passed at the same time. A practical test cannot be booked until the theory test has been passed. At Bedford School of Motoring we provide training material for both tests.
