Learn to drive a car and pass the driving test with driving lessons from the Barka School of Driving, Milton Keynes Buckinghamshire UK The Driving Theory Test The driving theory test is divided into two modules. Candidates sit them one after the other with a short break between. Module 1 ⇒ You are required to complete 50 multiple choice questions in no more than 57 minutes. Module 2 ⇒ The Hazard Perception consisting of 14 video clips to watch on a screen where you are asked to respond according to developing hazards. The Multiple Choice Questions The multiple choice questions consist of the question and several answer options on a touch screen. The candidate selects an answer or answers by touching the box alongside it. To change the selection, touch again to deselect it and choose another answer by touching another box. To pass the multiple choice section of the theory test, the candidate must achieve a score of at least 43 points out of a possible 50, which is 86% The Hazard Perception (or Awareness) Test After the multiple-choice section (the actual theory test) candidates are allowed a 3 minutes break before a short video tutorial explaining the 2nd module of the driving theory test called the Hazard Perception Test (or Hazard Awareness Test), which is delivered on a computer and requires the use of a mouse. A hazard is defined as a situation causing the driver to react by changing direction, speed or stop. The Hazard Perception (or Awareness) Test will consist of 14 video clips, each about a minute long, showing driving situations involving other road users and is shot from the car driver's viewpoint. Each of 13 clips will play one developing hazard which will cause the driver to react by changing direction, speed or stop. 1 clip will show two developing hazards. The test candidate is not told which of the clips contain 2 hazards and is expected to identify all 15 hazards onscreen by clicking the left or right mouse button. Scoring is via a points system from zero to five points. The earlier the hazard is identified the higher the score. Several potential hazards will be within each clip, and most will remain potential, but one (or two) will develop into the actual hazard causing the driver to react by changing direction, speed or stop. These are the hazards which must be identified and clicked on in order to score the points. Note: Candidates do not lose points for clicking on potential hazards, however clicking all over the screen will result in a score of zero. Unlike the first module, answers cannot be reviewed. The pass mark for the Hazard Perception (or Awareness) Test section of the driving theory test is 44 out of 75, which is approximately 59% Candidates must pass both the multiple choice and the Hazard Perception (or Awareness) Test to pass the Driving Theory Test. The Driving Theory Test must be passed before the Practical Driving Test is taken. The Barka Driving School Milton Keynes advises students to arrive at the test centre at least 15 minutes before the theory test is due to begin with the relevant documents: Both parts of your driving license and the letter of confirmation. Late arrival may result in the loss of all fees.
