How the car theory test works
| Part | What happens | Pass mark |
|---|---|---|
| Multiple-choice | 50 questions in 57 minutes, including case studies | 43 out of 50 |
| Hazard perception | 14 video clips: click when you see a developing hazard | 44 out of 75 |
You must pass both parts at the same sitting. You need a provisional driving licence to book, and you book the test on GOV.UK. If you don't have a provisional licence yet, we can help you apply.
