The Theory Test

• Remember that when you go to take your Theory Test you must bring along your provisional driving licence and some other acceptable proof of identity that bears your name, photograph and signature. (try our practice theory test here)
  


• All of the questions are multiple choice.
  


• The questions vary between straight text; text with graphics of road signs; and text with photographs of road and driving scenarios. Most will require one option to be selected from a choice of four, some will ask for two, three or four correct options to be selected from a range of up to six possibilities.
  


• If you are not sure of the answer and decide to have a guess and return to the question later, you can remind yourself by using the 'flag' section. If you fail to answer a question, the computer will register it as incomplete.
  


• Once you have got to the end of the questions you will be given the chance to revisit your flagged and incomplete questions or to review the entire test if you wish. A clock on the system will advise you of how long you have remaining.
  


• The pass mark is 30 out of 35 correct answers
  


• If you have time at the end of the test please take the chance to review your answers. People often make careless mistakes and find that they have, totally inadvertently, marked the wrong answer.
  


• Remember - if you do read the question very carefully and know how to recognise the key words, you will choose the correct answer.
