Before You Drive
Theory Test
Tips, resources, and guidance to help you pass your theory test first time — before you even get in the car.
Study Tips
Study the Highway Code
The Highway Code is the foundation of the theory test. Read it cover to cover — at least twice. Focus on signs, rules, and road markings.
Use the Official DVSA App
The DVSA's own revision app includes the complete official question bank. 50 questions on the real test — all come from this bank.
Practice Hazard Perception
Hazard Perception is its own skill. Watch clips daily, click early when you see developing hazards — but not randomly or you'll lose marks.
Timed Mock Tests
Simulate real conditions. 57 minutes for 50 questions. Aim for 80%+ consistently before booking your real test.
