Theory Test
The Theory Test is in 2 sections.
Part 1 is the question part, where you will be given 50 questions, all multiple choice, in which you will need to get 43 or more correct to pass.
Part 2 is the Hazzard Perception section, where you will see 14 driving clips on screen, and you will have to click the mouse button when you see a developing hazzard. You will need to score 44 or more to pass.
