Theory test changes: 14th April 2020 this will Consists of:
Include 3 multiple-choice questions based on a short video which you the candidate will watch. The change will make the Theory Test more accessible to people with reading difficulties – like Dyslexia, learning disability and developmental condition – like Autism. At the moment the changes ONLY apply to Car Theory Tests.
How the Theory Test has changed:
Theory Test is using video clips instead of written case studies. This changed on the 14th April 2020, you watch one video clip instead of reading a case study, then answer 3 multiple-choice questions about it. You can watch the video clip as many times as you wish during the multiple-choice part of the Theory Test. This still tests your knowledge and understanding of road rules.
Theory Test – same as before:
You will still need to study the same books and software to prepare for your Theory Test. The Theory Test pass mark is 87%, so you will need to answer 43 out of 50 multiple choice questions correctly to PASS. The Hazard Perception PASS mark is 44 out of 75. Remember you have to score a PASS IN BOTH SECTIONS of the Driving Theory Test to pass the overall Theory Test.
You will still need to:
Multiple Choice Questions – there are 50 questions and you need to get 43 right to pass. You still have 57 minutes to do it in.
Hazard Perception Test – you get points for spotting the developing hazards as soon as they start to happen. Developing hazard is something that would cause you to take action change in direction or in speed. 15 video clips, maximum score up to 5 points for each developing hazard. You can only watch the video clip once.
