| Question: |
What is the Theory Test? |
| Answer: |
All learners have to pass the theory test before they can book a practical test. It is operated by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA), which is a government run organisation.
It consists of two parts - the Multiple-Choice questions and the Hazard perception test.
Both parts have to be passed at the same time. Currently there are 50 multiple -choice questions and you will need to get 43 out of a possible 50 to pass. There are 14 Hazard perception video clips and you will need to recognise at least 44 out of 75 hazards. Don’t worry your IN2GEAR instructor can help you pass your theory!

| Question: |
What is the Practical Test? |
| Answer: |
The test is conducted by a DSA examiner at the test centre of your choice. The test will last approximately 35-40 minutes during which time you will be expected to drive competently and safely on a variety of different roads. You will also be expected to carry out at least two reversing manoeuvres and not to accumulate any more than 15 driving faults and commit no serious or dangerous faults.
Don’t worry your IN2GEAR instructor is an expert driver and knows how to prepare you for the practical test after all this is why you are receiving tuition from IN2GEAR.

| Question: |
Why is the pass rate higher at some test centres than others? |
| Answer: |
It depends on many factors. One of the major factors is of course where the test centre is based ie a busy city centre poses different challenges to a small provincial test centre serving a small town. Ask your IN2GEAR instructor to give his/her opinion on this subject.
