Part
one - multiple choice
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.
Some car and
motorcycle multiple choice questions will be
given as a case study. The case study will
show a scenario that five questions will be
based on. The subject of the scenario
focuses on real life examples and
experiences that drivers could come across
when driving.
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 two - hazard perception
After the
break you'll then be shown a short tutorial
video clip about how the hazard perception
part works.
The hazard
perception part is also delivered on a
computer but you respond by clicking a
button on the mouse. You'll be presented
with a series of video clips which feature
every day road scenes. In each clip there'll
be at least one developing hazard, but one
of the car/motorcycle clips will feature two
developing hazards.
To achieve a
high score you'll need to respond to the
developing hazard during the early part of
its development. The maximum you can score
on each hazard is five.
You won't be
able to review your answers to the hazard
perception test; as on the road, you'll only
have one chance to respond to the developing
hazard.

At
the end of the test
At the end
of the hazard perception part of the theory
test you'll be invited to answer a number of
customer survey questions.
You don't
have to answer the questions if you don't
want to, and any information given is
anonymous and confidential. The survey
questions don't affect the result of the
test.
When you
have finished the test you may leave the
examination room. Once you have left the
room, you'll not be allowed to enter it
again. You'll then be given your result by
the test centre staff.
For lorry
and bus candidates once you have passed both
tests you will also receive a pass
certificate letter by post.
