The first of three exams is the Theory Exam.  The details of the exam are outlined in full on . Gov (link below.  

The key to success is having the right revision package - DVSA and Drive Hart recommend the Safe Driving for Life instructors' package. 

The other key recommendations are:  

1. Know the exam elements - you have to pass both multiple choice and Hazard perception on the same sitting.  

2. Understand how it is marked - there are 4 bands or categories in multiple choice, which you have to revise for. 

3.  Ensure you do adequate revision and make sure this includes the publications outlined on.Gov for this test, especially the Essential Skills book  

4.  Do at least 10 or more complete mock tests (at pass level ) to be confident on the test day.
