The Test

The local test centres for your theory are in Basingstoke and Reading. On the day, you must take both parts of your license with you - don't forget these! Learner drivers have to pass the theory test before they can take the practical driving test. The theory test comprises two parts:

The multiple choice test (Pass mark at least 30/35)
The hazard perception test (Pass mark at least 44/75)

To pass your theory test you must achieve at least the minimum pass mark (shown above) in both parts of the test. After the test, you will be given a certificate if you passed.

Helpful Materials

You can buy a variety of books to help with passing your theory, as well as the mock theory PC-CD. This is available from the DSA website, Amazon, and retailers such as WH Smith and GAME.
