Guides and Tips

The theory test can be pretty easy, but only if you put the hard work in beforehand. You’ll face 50 questions out of a bank of 700, so you’ll need a fairly wide knowledge to pass the first time. If you take enough mock tests and pass a few times, you shouldn’t have too many problems on the day.

At the risk of sounding like a parent, just make sure you’re well-rested, show up to the test centre on time and do plenty of revision. We’ve compiled a list of resources that will stand you in good stead...
