How to prepare for your Driving Theory Test
To prepare for the driving theory test you should review The Highway Code, study the traffic signs included, and, most importantly, practice the multiple choice driving theory questions test and hazard perception videos. All of these are contained in our website online providing you a complete and easy study environment for passing first time.
Practice and test yourself
- Practice and Review your score and understand any wrongly answered questions. Our tests contain explanations to guide you.
- Monitor your progress with our statistical progress review diagrams.
- Take Mock tests of random test questions within a specified time and review case studies.
- Take hazard perception mock tests giving you good practice for the exam.
Questions on these topics are the most incorrectly answered:
- road and traffic signs
- safety margins
- rules of the road
Multiple-choice driving test
There are more than 1000 Theory Test revision questions licensed by DVSA online. The following are recommendations for the preparation for your driving theory test:
- never try to memorise the driving test questions and their answers; instead, try to understand the situation in question
- read each question and multiple answers carefully
- if you do not know the answer to the given question or do not understand the situation, please read the explanation accompanying each question.
By using our theory practice app you will be able to prepare yourself for the driving theory test faster: our system monitors your study process, and if you answer correctly to a certain question at least twice in a row, you will not be given this specific question anymore in further studies. This will give you time to practice other questions and road signs.
Once you have learned to answer the questions from all of the topics, proceed to the Mock test.

The Hazard Perception part
18 clips licensed by DVSA, including high quality clips made using computer-generated imagery (CGI). You will be shown a series of video clips on a computer screen. Each clip:
- feature everyday road scenes
- contain at least one developing hazard - but one of the clips will feature two developing hazards
A developing hazard is something that may result in you having to take some action, such as changing speed or direction.
The earlier you notice a developing hazard and make a response, the higher your score. The most you can score for each developing hazard is five points.
To get a high score you need to:
If you click continuously or in a pattern during a clip, a message will appear at the end. It will tell you that you have scored zero for that particular clip.
Think of a parked car on the side of the road. When you first see it, it isn't doing anything - it's just a parked car. If you respond at this point, you won't score any marks, but you won't lose any marks.
The difference between a potential and developing hazard
When you get closer to the car, you notice that its right-hand indicator starts to flash. This would make you think that the driver of the car is going to move away. The hazard is now developing and a response at this point would score marks.
The indicator coming on is a sign that the car has changed from a potential hazard into a developing hazard.
When you get closer to the car, you will probably see it start to move away from the side of the road. You should make another response at this point because the hazard is developing further.
To get a high score you need to:
- respond to the developing hazard during the early part of its development
- press the mouse button as soon as you see a hazard developing
