The Theory Test:
The theory test is made up of two parts; multiple choice and hazard perception. The multiple choice is delivered using a touch screen computer, and the hazard
perception records your responses through the use of a computer mouse button. You need to pass both parts to pass the theory test. If you pass one part and fail
the other you will fail the whole test, and you will need to take both parts again.

Hazard Perception:
The Hazard perception test is made up of 14 video clips. Each clip will contain 1 or 2 developing hazards. You will be marked on how well you react to the hazard. You
will be scored from 0-5 on each hazard.

You will need to score an overall mark of 44 out of 75.

Multiple Choice:
Before the test starts you will be given instructions on how the test works.

You can also choose to go through a practise session of the multiple-choice questions to get use to the layout of the test. At the end of the practise session the real
test will begin.

A question and a selection of answers will appear onscreen and you will have to select the correct answer to the question by touching the screen. Note that some
questions may require more than one answer. You can navigate between questions and 'flag' questions that you are un-sure about and come back to them later in
the test.

You need to score at least 43 from 50 multiple choice questions.

Driving Tests:
Your driving test is a test of your ability to drive without the help of an instructor. The test lasts approximately 40 minutes. You will be allowed a maximum of 15 minor driving faults. The examiner may talk to you to ease your nerves he or she can answer questions if you don’t understand an instruction, but is not allowed to assist you.

You will also be asked two questions about basic routine maintenance i.e.. Show me tell me (to download the 'show me tell me' questions click here)
You may also have to carry out the emergency stop.

You will have to complete 1 of the 3 manoeuvres, Parallel Parking or Bay Parking, Left or Right Reverse or Turn in the road. In addition you may be asked to perform an emergency stop routine. 

There is an independent driving section, where the examiner will ask you to find a safe place to stop, the examiner will then ask you to drive by either following a series of directions, following traffic signs, or a combination of both. To help you understand where you’re going, the examiner may show you a diagram. It doesn't matter if you don't remember every direction, or if you go the wrong way - that can happen to the most experienced drivers. Independent driving is not a test of your orientation and navigation skills.

Driving independently means making your own decisions - this includes deciding when it’s safe and appropriate to ask for confirmation about where you’re going.
If you ask for a reminder of the directions, the examiner will confirm them to you.

If you go off the independent driving route it won’t affect the result of your test unless you commit a driving fault. If you go off the route or take a wrong turning, the examiner will help you to get back on the route and continue with the independent driving.

If there are poor or obscured traffic signs, the examiner will give you directions until you can see the next traffic sign - you won’t need to have a detailed knowledge of the area.

You can’t use a sat nav for independent driving as it gives you turn-by-turn prompts. Independent driving tests how you make your own decisions.
