Driving Theory Test Practice. Pass Guaranteed. 2025 Latest Questions

The test is in two parts. The first is the multiple-choice section, followed by the hazard perception test (HPT). The number and types of questions you get will depend on the type of vehicle you're testing for (e.g., lorry, bus, car, motorcycle).

If you're testing for a car or motorcycle, you will be given 45 randomly generated multiple-choice questions and 5 case study-type questions to answer in 57 minutes. The pass mark is 43 of 50.

The test for lorries and buses has 100 questions, and you're given 1 hour and 55 minutes to answer them. You will need to get at least 85 out of 100 right to pass.

For the HPT, the pass mark is 44 out of 75 for the car and motorcycle category. For buses and lorries, the hazard perception test pass mark is 67 out of 100.

You can apply the next day for a re-sit. But you will need to wait at least three (3) clear working days before you can retake the test.

The test covers 12 topics, some of which we highlight below.

• Road/Driver Attitudes: Testing your knowledge of how to respond to other road users, following distances, pelican crossings, headlights, and more.
• Documents: How much do you know about registration and insurance requirements for your vehicle? Licences, MOT certs, and SORN fines?
• Road Traffic Signs: For the road signs test portion of the DVSA driving test, there are over 150 different road traffic signs, and you never know which ones will make it to your test.
• Alcohol, Drugs, Fatigue: Test your knowledge on the effects of alcohol, drugs, and fatigue while driving.
• Eco and Environmental Knowledge: As we move to more eco-friendly vehicles, you will be tested on your knowledge of eco and environmental aspects of vehicles.

Theory test booking can be made in 2 ways – online or by post. You can book the driving theory test online directly with the DVSA. Or, get a form from a local Post Office, fill it out, and submit it with the relevant documents to DVSA Swansea.

When you sign up for the test date, you'll be given an option to choose a designated DVSA driving theory test centre, which is often close to you.

You can sit the UK driving test at one of the more than 160 theory test centres across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Some test centres are open on Saturdays, but most have test dates Mondays through Fridays, between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.

You can search for a theory test centre close to you here by putting in your postcode.

Your driving theory test certificate lasts for two (2) years from the day you passed. If you haven't completed and passed the practical test for getting your full driving licence within that time, then you will need to take the UK driving theory test again.

As soon as you reach your 17th birthday, you can apply to sit the theory test. (You can apply for your provisional licence at age 15 years and nine months.)

The cost of the DVSA driving theory test is £23. The fee is subject to change as the government sees fit, so feel free to check the official GOV.UK website for any changes.

Theory test preparation starts by knowing what to study. Over 50% of people who sit the official theory test fail, so you want to be sure that you're preparing the best way possible.

The Highway Code is a start. But, if you want a full in-depth preparation guide, sign up for an online theory test practice site with mock theory tests. The right site makes it easy to study, retain information, and prepare to pass the test either on your first try or if you failed it before.

But it's a simple process to ensure that you can pass the test:

• Practice driving theory tests as often as you can
• Use simulation tests to boost your chances
• Practice hazard perception tests
• Study the Highway Code and traffic signs

The Hazard Perception Test requires you to watch video clips to spot developing hazards and indicate how you would respond. There are two (2) pass marks for the HPT: 44 out of 75 for the car and motorcycle hazard perception part of the theory test, and 67 out of 100 for LGV and PCV drivers.

The best way to pass is to practice the theory test before actually sitting it. You'll see what the clips look like and how your response time matters. The slower you are to respond, the lower your points. If you respond too fast, you won't get any points. Plus, the test is designed to prevent multiple clicks on each question, so you have only one (1) chance to get each question right. (Some may not even have a hazard situation in the video).

It's unlikely that you will pass the theory test without revising. So, it's important that you know how to study for the test. To get ready, start using an interactive online platform that is designed to help you pass.

Studying for the theory test involves:

• First, acknowledging that the test can draw on questions from a bank of over 700+.
• Practicing based on the categories in which these 700+ questions fall.
• Taking simulation tests and using your Challenge Bank for cataloguing difficult questions.
• Practicing the hazard perception test with authentic video clips.

If you do not take the right things to your driver's theory test, your test will be cancelled. You will not be reimbursed for the money spent when you booked the theory test. What you should bring to the theory test includes your UK photocard driving licence. You can't bring any personal items into the test room, but locations should have a locker facility that you can use to store them.

The DVSA provides 3 primary resources that you can download and study for the test. These are:

• The UK Highway Code
• Their 'Know Your Traffic Signs' Guide
• Supplemental material from the DVSA official publishing partner

If you mean how long the test is, then you have 57 minutes in which to answer 50 multiple-choice questions in Section 1. Section 2 of the test (Hazard Perception) has 14 videos, with each being approximately 14 minutes in length.

If you want to know the validity period of your driver theory pass, then that's 2 years. If you don't take and pass the practical driving test within those 2 years, then you will have to re-sit the theory test.

The free practice tests must be UK-specific. Otherwise, you won't be studying rules that are set by the UK government. But also make sure that the free tests are valuable. There's no sense in studying old content that has been updated by the DVSA but not by the free test site.

You can do well with our free tests, but they are only some of the potential questions. So, if you want more opportunities to study, access to more questions, and Challenge Bank, then Premium is the way to go. When you upgrade to Premium, you give yourself more chances to succeed.
