Theory test and hazard perception test - Whitchurch, Shropshire

Before you can apply to take a practical test you must complete the theory test and the hazard perception test.

The theory test is 50 questions long and needs to be answered in 50 minutes. To pass the test you must answer 43 correctly.  You receive a practice session of 15 minutes and you can come back to any questions unanswered at the end. Make sure you use all the time available.

This is followed by the hazard perception test. This test takes 20 minutes. Fourteen video clips are played and you are required to identify 15 potential hazards.
