Theory

The theory test consists of two parts - a question part and a hazard perception part. Both parts have to be passed at the same time. The theory test must be passed before you can apply for the practical driving test. The local theory test centres are:

Preston Theory Test Centre
Norwest Court (Ground Flr)
Guildhall Street
Preston
Lancashire
PR1 3NU
 
Blackpool Theory Test Centre
Darwin Court (Unit 9A Ground Flr)
Blackpool Technology Exchange

Questions
The first part of the theory test involves 50 multiple choice questions on a touch screen computer. The pass mark is 43 out of 50. You can learn for the theory test using recommended resources such as books and dvd's.

Hazard Perception (HPT)
When you've completed the questions, there will be a short delay and then the Hazard perception test will start. The test consists of 14 clips of film each lasting around 30 or 40 seconds. In total there are 15 "developing hazards" that you will need to identify. The sooner you identify the scoring hazards, the higher your score. There is a maximum of 5 points per scoring hazard. You just need to click the mouse, not move the mouse cursor over the hazard. The pass mark is 44 out of 75.
