Theory and driving test preparation
Know what to expect before you book your test. Always check the latest GOV.UK guidance before your test.
Theory test
The theory test has a multiple-choice part and a hazard perception part. Learn the Highway Code, practise road signs, and use official practice material rather than memorising unofficial answers.
Practical test day
Expect an eyesight check, vehicle safety questions, general driving, independent driving and one reversing manoeuvre. Your instructor will run mock tests so nothing feels new on the day.

The course has a minimum length set by the DVSA, and some insurers may offer a discount to those who complete it. This is never guaranteed, so ask your insurer directly.
