THE THEORY TEST
A student practices for the theory test
Before you can apply for the Practical Test you must first take and pass the Theory Test.
This consists of two elements. Firstly a multiple choice question and answer test of 50 questions on the Highway Code chosen at random by computer. To pass you must answer 43 or more questions correctly.
Following this you will then do a Hazard Perception Test. Fourteen short video clips are played on the computer and your task is to identify developing hazards during the clips.
You must pass both parts of the test at the same time to gain a Theory Pass Certificate.
CATH ROBERTS DRIVER TRAINING offers one to one theory tuition if required. This can be done in car as part of a driving lesson using Lap Top Computers.
We have helped many people with learning difficulties to gain the necessary skills to pass this part of the Driving Test.
For more information on the Theory Test visit the DSA website.
THE PRACTICAL TEST
A successful student shows off her Pass Certificate
The Practical Test is usually taken in the car in which you've been learning. The Test lasts about 40 minutes and during this time you will be tested on all the aspects of driving that you will have been practicing, including reversing and exercises such as the emergency stop and hill starts.
The standard of the Practical Test in the UK is very high so it is vital that you have prepared for it thoroughly. This includes getting expert tuition and as much practice as you can. The DSA wants candidates who pass the test to be safe drivers for life and here at CATH ROBERTS DRIVER TRAINING we endorse this completely. We never allow our students to take the Practical Test unless we are sure they are completely ready for it.
As part of your tuition you will be given mock driving tests to help you get ready for the real thing. These are a great help because they mean that on the big day you will know exactly what to expect which makes coping with those test nerves a whole lot easier.
