What are the changes?
In the current test format for learner car drivers, you are given 57 minutes to answer 50 multiple choice questions. You must score a minimum of 43 to pass this part of the test. After the multiple-choice questions, you will be asked to complete the Hazard Perception Test, which contains 14 video interactive clips. To pass the Hazard Perception Test, you will need to achieve a minimum of 45 points out of a maximum of 75. You must pass BOTH parts of the test.
You’ll be pleased to hear that the only part of the test that will be changing is the written case study scenario (the one that forms part of your multiple choice Theory Test). Currently, learner drivers have to read this and correctly answer five multiple choice questions based around this scenario (found at the end of the multiple choice Theory Test).
However, with the new style test, rather than reading the case study scenario, you will be required to watch a short 30 second silent video clip. You will then be asked three multiple choice questions based on what you have just seen (the video can be watched as many times as you like).
