The Theory Test questions
- For the Car and Motorcycle theory test.
You are now asked 50 questions. The pass mark is 43 or more and the time allowed to complete the test is 57 minutes. The fee to take the test is £31.00 which covers the cost of the Hazard test.
- For the Large Vehicle Theory Tests (LGV and PCV).
From 4th August 2008 bus, coach and lorry drivers will be tested on 100 questions and need to correctly answer 85 of the 100 to pass the multiple choice part of the test. The number of hazard perception clips will also increase from 14 to 19 and the pass mark will increase from 50 out of 75, to 67 out of 100.
Another theory test change for the bus, coach and lorry drivers, which is being made at the request of the industry, is to split the test into two parts. This will allow candidates to take the multiple choice element separately from the hazard perception element; and in either order. This change aims to avoid potential recruits being put off entering the industry due to the length of the test as a single event.
