The Theory Test will gauge your knowledge and understanding of riding theory, essential to improving your practical riding skills. The multiple choice test for motorcycle riders has 50 questions, each with a list of potential answers. You need to choose the correct answer (or answers). You will have 57 minutes to complete this test, as you would in a real test. To pass you need to answer at least 43 questions correctly (score 83%). If you don't complete the test in time your score will be calculated from the questions you did answer. How the test works Click the answer you think is right. If you want to change your answer, first deselect your original answer and then click on another answer. Please note that some questions have more than one correct answer. Once you have selected an answer you can then proceed to the next question. If you are unsure you can 'flag' the question and continue. You can come back to any flagged questions when you have answered the other questions. Once you have completed the test you will be told whether you have passed or failed and be able to review the questions you got wrong.
The Hazard Perception TestResearch has shown that more experienced riders and drivers scan the road and surroundings better. This means they are quicker to recognise the clues that a hazardous situation is developing and able to take action before the danger happens. Each test consists of a video with 'hazards' to observe and react to. You will have to take 14 tests with the opportunity to score a maximum of 75 points and you will need at least 44 points to pass. How the test works When you see a potential hazard, respond by clicking the mouse. There will be a number of potential hazards in each clip but only one of them will develop into a situation where you would need to react to the hazard. This is the situation where you score points - and the earlier you have noticed the hazard the more points you will get. However, you won't know which hazards will develop into a dangerous situation, so you should click whenever you see a potential hazard. But don't click randomly - the programme is designed to notice this and you won't score any points. Example of how the points are awarded In the images below you can see how the scoring works. If you click when you notice the car is starting to come out into your line of traffic you get 5 points. As it moves further out you get less points. If you wait until the car has finally stopped and the motorcycle has had to react to the car, you score no points. Click here to see an introductory video about the test.
This test is FREE and is available for you to take as many times as you wish. It is only a representation of the official test and the scores gained here do not count towards passing your test.
Example of the developing hazardThese images show how the developing hazard is scored, depending on when you click. The sooner you see the hazard the higher the score.
