You can:
You will need your driver number (found on your licence) and a credit or debit card card.
DVSA will advise you of the theory test centre that is closest to you.
The theory and hazard perception are two separate examinations.
To pass the theory test (Module 1A) you are required to answer 100 multiple choice questions.
You must get at least 85 correct to be awarded a pass. The theory test exam lasts 1 hour and 45 minutes.
“The official LGV Theory Test Book” is highly recommended as an ideal learning tool as well as familiarisation with the Highway Code.
You can also practice mock theory tests via the DVSA website.
The hazard perception test (Module 1B) consists of 20 hazard clips, you are required to identify potential hazards as and when they appear on the screen.
It is highly recommended you acquire The Official Hazard Perception CD ROM.
The required pass-mark is 67 out of 100.
If you fail the hazard perception test but have passed the theory test, then you only resit the hazard perception test, and vice versa.
This test must be sat at DVSA approved theory test centre.
