What to expect at a theory test centre

Arrive early

Aim to arrive 15 minutes before your appointment so check-in is not rushed.

Bring your licence

You need your UK photocard provisional driving licence. Without it, you cannot sit the test.

Lock items away

Phones, watches, bags and study notes must be stored before you enter the test room.

Pass both parts

You need 43/50 in multiple choice and 44/75 in hazard perception in the same sitting.
