The test itself

Multiple-choice questions

50

You need 43 correct to pass this part.

Time for the questions

57 min

There is a practice session first if you want one.

Hazard perception clips

15 scoreable hazards, scored 0-5 on how early you spot each.

Hazard perception pass mark

44/75

What to bring

Your UK photocard driving licence. Without it the test is cancelled and the fee is lost. Arrive around 15 minutes early, and expect to leave phones and bags in a locker.

How long the pass lasts

Two years. If you have not passed your practical test by then you take the theory again - which is why booking lessons while you revise, rather than after, is worth doing.

FAQ

Common questions about Huntingdon

Pass rates, what the test involves, and how the theory test fits around booking lessons and a practical test.

46.00% of car theory tests taken at Huntingdon were passed in 2025-26, across 63 tests of which 29 passed. That is 0.5 points below the 46.5% average across theory test centres. It ranks 99 of 193 theory test centres for pass rate.

At Huntingdon, 51.90% of tests taken by women were passed against 41.70% of tests taken by men in 2025-26. The figures cover 27 and 36 tests respectively. DVSA publish this split for every theory test centre.

The car theory test has two parts taken in one sitting. First, 50 multiple-choice questions in 57 minutes, of which you need 43 correct. Then the hazard perception test: 14 video clips containing 15 scoreable developing hazards, scored 0 to 5 depending on how early you spot each one, with a pass mark of 44 out of 75. You have to pass both parts in the same sitting; passing one and failing the other means retaking the whole test.

Yes. You cannot book a practical driving test until you hold a theory test pass certificate, and the certificate is valid for two years. If it expires before you pass your practical, you have to take the theory test again - which is why most people book lessons and the theory test in the same few weeks rather than waiting.

Yes - we list driving instructors within 10 miles of Huntingdon on this page. Most learners book lessons while they are studying for the theory test rather than after it, because the practical waiting list is measured in months and a theory pass certificate only lasts two years.
