The Theory test (Part 1) is made up of two parts; the multiple-choice part and the hazard perception part. Both tests are taken on a computer at your local theory test centre using the mouse and a touch screen monitor to answer. You will need to correctly answer 43 out of 50 questions to pass the multiple choice test and score at least 44 out of a possible 75 in the hazard perception test. You need to pass both tests at the same time to successfully pass the Part 1. The fee for this test is £31.00.
