Book and manage your theory test

Before you can book your driving theory test, you need to get a provisional license. Learn more about how to get a provisional license and check if you’re eligible.

You can easily book, check change or cancel your driving theory test through the candidate portal.

Part 1: Multiple choice questions

The first part of the test consists of 50 multiple-choice questions, which are based on the road rules like the highway codes, traffic signs, and other essential skills like safe driving.

How can I prepare for the MCQ theory test?

The MCQs are based on three key resources– The Highway Code, the ‘Know your traffic signs’ booklet, and the Essential range from the DVSA. The book is not just a key resource for the theory test, but also covers topics like how to drive in different weather conditions, fuel-efficient driving, driving on different roads like the smart motorways, advice on overtaking slow-moving vehicles, and so on.

According to the DVSA, you should do at least 20 hours of revision to prepare for the test.

The questions can be based on everything, from the rules of the road to safety, driving behavior, and other road users. It’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the theory driving test structure so that you feel confident on the day of the test and are ready to answer any question that’s asked. To prepare for the test, you can take a practice test on this app, as well as on countless other sites.
