Your scottiishdrivers.co.uk Instructor can assist you to prepare for the Theory and Hazard Perception Tests and can supply you with books and CD ROM’s, often at discounted prices.
You need to pass your theory and hazard perception tests at the same time before you can apply for your practical test.
Getting a test date
You will need a valid provisional driving licence to take your theory test. Once you've got that, you can book your theory and hazard perception tests Online (link opens a new window), or by phone on 0870 0101 372.
How the theory test works
The theory test is a 50-question multiple-choice test. To pass you must answer 43 or more questions correctly within 57 minutes. Questions are chosen at random from a bank of over 1,000 questions, and you answer by touching the screen. During the test you have the option to skip questions and return to them later.
Learn to drive with us and you'll get access to our free online theory test. Just one feature of our new learning zone of the AA web site, it's available exclusively to AA pupils.
The DSA has recently introduced case studies into the theory test. You will be tested on understanding as well as knowledge, a system widely used in education to put learning into context. The case study will take the form of a scenario, or short story, on which five questions will be based. The questions will be taken from the current theory question bank, and the five questions will count towards the fifty questions of the test. So the new format will be 45 questions + 5 questions relating to a case study. If you prepare well for the theory test, introduction of a case study will have no effect on your test result.
How the Hazard Perception Test works
Immediately after your theory test, you'll watch a series of 14 one-minute video clips, each showing potential hazards involving road conditions, pedestrians or road users.
There are 15 hazards to identify and you can score up to 5 points on each one, depending on how quickly you identify them. You need to score 44 out of 75 to pass.
Your scottiishdrivers.co.uk Instructor can give you valuable advise on how to respond to maximise your score on each clip.
