how theory test works

how theory test works

We’ve analysed the data from the last 100,000 quiz attempts on this site. We’ve then looked at the percentage of people that got each question correct. This has revealed the most difficult theory test questions.
Because so many people use our site to test their knowledge, we have a rich history of data on each test question (over 1,000 multiple choice questions from the DVSA revision question bank). This means we can see which questions people struggle with and which ones they find easy.

The video clip below is the Official DVSA guide to how the hazard perception part of the theory test works – including when you should click, how the scores are worked out and what you need to do to pass. It also helps explain how the hazard perception test is marked with explanations about the ‘marking window’ and how to watch the clips for hazards.
You will then watch 14 video clips. The clips:

• feature everyday road scenes
• contain at least one ‘developing hazard’ – but one of the clips features 2 developing hazards

You get points for spotting the developing hazards as soon as they start to happen.

Once you have your provisional Licence, you can then start thinking about your theory test. You need to pass your theory test before you can take your practical driving test.
