About the DSA Theory Test

The theory questions are the first part of the driving theory test. It is comprised of 50 questions chosen by the DSA, which you will answer on a computer at your nearest theory test centre. In order to pass the test you must get 43 or more of the questions correct. Each question will present you with multiple-choice options and in some cases a picture or photograph. Be sure to read each question carefully. Some questions will ask you to give multiple answers. If the question asks you to select two options and you only select one, you will get the question wrong. You are given fifty-eight minutes to complete the exam. If you have any disabilities, inform the centre's booking clerk and they will arrange for you to either have a longer period of time to complete the test or they may allocate somebody to read the questions to you. The theory test is also available is a number of different languages, including Urdu and Welsh.
