About the Wales Theory Test

The Wales Theory Test is administered by the DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency). It is the first formal step towards obtaining a full UK driving licence.

The test consists of two parts taken in the same session:

  • Multiple choice questions: 50 questions — you must score at least 43 (86%) to pass.
  • Hazard perception: 14 video clips — you must score at least 44 out of 75 marks.

You must pass both parts on the same day. If you fail one part, you must retake the entire test.

Our practice tests cover the multiple choice section. Aim for 96% or above in practice to feel confident on test day.

5 Tips to Pass First Time

  1. Study the Highway Code thoroughly — all questions are based on it.
  2. Practice regularly on this site — aim for 96%+ before booking your test.
  3. Review every incorrect answer to understand why it's wrong.
  4. Practise hazard perception using the official DVSA materials.
  5. Book your test when you're consistently scoring above the pass mark.
