How Is The Theory Test Changing
On the first of January 2012, the UK driving Theory Test is changing, the DSA will add new multiple-choice Theory Test questions to the test. The DSA will no longer allow anyone publish these new Theory Test questions, so they will not appear on any websites or practice discs. However, the DSA will still release the official DSA Theory Test revision questions and these will be published by the usual organisations.
What’s the difference between DSA revision questions and the Theory Test questions On Your Actual Theory Test ?
Basically this means that your real theory test will include questions that will not be published. The number of questions will still be 50 in 57 minutes and the pass mark is 43.
Is The Hazard Perception Test Changing
The hazard perception part of the theory test will not be changing. You will still be given 14 clips with 15 hazards to find. The pass mark is 44 out of 75
Why Is The Theory Test Changing
The DSA decided, that it needs to discourage learner drivers from just learning the answers to the questions without gaining the knowledge required to develop safe driving skills. This should lead to a better understanding of the actual study materials, in particular the Highway Code.
Should I still Use Theory Test Practice Materials ?
Yes because although the newest questions will not be in the old study products you will still gain useful experience in completing the test. A lot of the old questions will still be in the real theory test and you will still develop the skills to help you complete the test.
