Worried about passing your theory test? Here are some top tips to help you to get that pass

Learning to drive can be one of the most enjoyable things in the world, but can also appear quite daunting at the start. Not only do you need to worry about getting to grips with all the practical aspects, but you also need to get to grips with the theory too.

Sitting your theory test can make even the most confident of person feel a little nervous, especially if you are worried that you are going to struggle to answer the questions right. So, to help you, we have put together some of our tips on how to pass your theory test.

One thing that is for sure when it comes to passing your theory test, you are going to have to revise. There are 50 different multiple choice questions that you are going to be asked and you must get 43 of them right to pass. The trouble is, there are the best part of 1000 different possible questions out there that you may be asked. Whilst you can’t learn them all, by hitting the books you will have a much better chance of getting them right.

As well as the multiple choice questions there is now a part of the test which looks at hazard perception. This part of the test is made up of a series of video clips which will have a number of driving hazards in them. It is important that you practice this part of the test before the big day as it will help you to be able to scan the surroundings on the video and pick up on all those pesky hazards. If you would like to practice the hazard perception element of the test, there's a completely free mobile app with as close-to-test mock clips provided by the DVSA.

You should be aiming to put in about 20 hours of revision before you sit your theory test. If you have done this, then there is a good chance that you are going to feel ready to take a mock test. Mock tests are not only great for helping you to know more about how the test is going to look when you actually get into the room, but they also show you whether or not you are ready, or if you need to put some more time in.
