Tips to help you pass the ADI Part 1 Theory test.
Before the test
The Theory and Hazard Perception tests
- Theory Test
- You should arrive at the centre at least 15 minutes before the start time
- You must take both parts of your driving licence, and the test appointment letter. If you have the old paper style licence you should also take some form of identification with a photograph and signature on it, for example a Passport.
- When you arrive, you will be asked to 'sign-in'.
- If you have any difficulty with your reading skills, you must inform the invigilator's.
- You are then told which cubicle with a computer monitor to use.
- When you first use the computer, you are asked if you want some trial questions to get you used to it.
- When answering the questions, try to be calm and relaxed.
- Take your time, and read the questions carefully.
- Make sure you read the questions carefully. You may find that a question would refer to "should" instead of "would". For example: When should you sound your horn? Instead of: When would you sound your horn?
- If you're not sure of an answer, you can 'flag' it and go back later if you have time.
Hazard Perception Test
- You will be shown 14 clips, of which there will be 15 hazards.
- You must get a score of at least 57 to pass.
- You should avoid clicking the mouse repeatedly like you would a computer game, as this will give you a zero score for that clip.
- You are allowed an hour and ten minutes in which to complete both tests.
- At the end of your test before you leave, you wil be given a letter with your result.
Finally, remember - you're going there to pass, and failure is not an option
