Test Day
On the day of the test you will have a 2 hour lesson. During the first hour you will practise all the manoeuvres, run through the vehicle
maintenance questions and answers and do some driving so as to be "warmed up" for the real test.
There is nothing to fear about either
the test or the examiner; lessons have been spent preparing for the test and the examiner will give directions for you to follow - carry
them out safely.

There are 2 parts to the Theory Test and both parts must be passed at the exam which can be taken in Birkenhead, the test centre is in Europa Boulevard. Each part of the test is done at a PC.Part 1 - Multiple choice
The first test consists of 50 multiple choice questions to be completed within 57 minutes. Some questions require 1 correct answer or 2 correct answers etc. Questions can be marked so you can return later to check your answer. The pass mark is 43.Part 2 - Hazard Perception Test
This tests your ability to respond to a developing hazard which is anything that causes you change direction or change speed. Emphasis is put on identifying the hazard during the early part of its development. There is at least one developing hazard on each of 14 video clips which use every day road scenes and on one video there are 2 developing hazrds. However each video will have several hazards but only one hazard is being marked and so you will need to click the mouse each time you identify a hazard. Each clip is only seen once. The pass mark is 44/75 as each hazard will be marked between 0 and 5.The Test - Practical
Locally there are 2 test centres, Upton and Wallasey. The practical test lasts about 40 minutes and the test starts with an eyesight test followed by 2 questions on vehicle maintenance.
