What is the theory test?

The theory test checks you know the rules of the road before the practical driving test. DVSA runs it at approved centres in two parts: multiple choice on a touchscreen, then hazard perception on a computer.

You must pass both parts in one visit to get your certificate and book the practical test. The car test costs £23 through gov.uk, with 50 questions, 43 to pass, and 57 minutes on the clock. Fees can change, so check when you book.

How our mock test works

Our free car mock theory test mirrors the car exam: 50 questions, a 57-minute timer, and a pass mark of 43 out of 50. You see your score straight away, with short explanations for any wrong answers.

Retake as often as you like. Motorcycle, HGV, PCV and ADI mocks use the right question counts for each licence. On two wheels, open the motorcycle mock theory test instead.

What questions are on the test?

DVSA groups the car theory test into 14 topics. Our car mock draws from practice questions across all of them. Car candidates need 43 out of 50 on the multiple-choice section.

  • Alertness and attitude
  • Safety, margins and hazard awareness
  • Vulnerable road users and other vehicles
  • Handling, motorways and rules of the road
  • Signs, documents, accidents and loading

Hazard perception practice

The live hazard test uses 14 video clips, with one clip containing two scorable hazards. You need 44 out of 75 on the car hazard section. Click when a hazard is developing, not in a pattern or at random.

Use our hazard perception practice with still scenes to build scanning habits before test day. It complements the official clip format, not a replacement for it.

Show me tell me and passing first time

Show me tell me questions are on the practical test: one tell me before you move off and one show me while driving. There are 21 DVSA questions for cars.

Steady revision beats last-minute cramming. Mix full mocks with hazard practice, learn signs by shape, and book when you score 45+ more than once on timed car mocks.

Common questions

Short answers about using this site and the real test.

What is the UK theory test?

It is the DVSA exam you take before the practical driving test: 50 multiple-choice questions plus a hazard perception section at a test centre. You need 43 out of 50 on the multiple-choice part for a car licence. Use our free theory test practice to revise in the same format.

Is this really free?

Yes. Mock tests and hazard perception practice are free. We do not ask for a card or an account.

How many questions are in the mock test?

The car mock has 50 multiple-choice questions, matching the real DVSA car theory test. You have 57 minutes.

What is the pass mark?

You need 43 correct answers out of 50 on the car theory test. Motorcycle, HGV, PCV and ADI tests use different pass marks on the mocks linked from the hub.

Can I use this on my phone?

Yes. The site is designed for phones first so you can practise wherever you are.

Do I need to sign up?

No. Open the mock theory test and start straight away. We do not need your email.

What happens if I fail the theory test?

You can book another attempt after three working days. You pay the test fee again. Use the gap to review explanations from your mocks, then rebook on gov.uk.

How long is the theory test valid for?

Your pass certificate lasts two years. You must pass the practical driving test within that time or you will need to take the theory test again.

Can I take the theory test before I'm 17?

You can take the car theory test from your 17th birthday. You need a provisional licence before you book. Motorcycle rules differ by age and licence type.

What's the difference between the theory test and the practical test?

The theory test is multiple choice and hazard perception at a test centre. The practical test is driving on the road with an examiner. You must pass theory before you book the practical test.

How many times can I take the theory test?

There is no lifetime limit. You can rebook after each fail, subject to waiting times and availability. Check current fees on gov.uk before you book again.
