How long did your theory test take

[torqueofthedevil]

I have already had to cancel one theory test due to other commitments, now something has come up the day of my theory and its too late to rebook.

It says average time is 1 hour but I know I can fly through 50 questions much quicker than that.

There is also the hazard perception - not sure how long that takes? Is there anything else?

My car theory was over 15 years ago but did feature hazard perception - cant remember the whole process taking very long at all.

Thanks,

If you rush the test you may make silly mistakes

I never had a theory for my car licence but had to for my bike 12 years ago. A hour seems about right.

From you post seems you may be in a rush? you may finish quicker but until it's signed off you have no idea if you passed unless you wait.

About 10 minutes (maybe less) for the questions, maybe 15 minutes for the hazard perception.

I done mine in less than 30mins, so did my brother both of us passed so definitely possible.

I went as slowly as I could stand and checked the questions twice, was done in about 35 mins.

Less than 30 minutes that's on both the bike and car theory. At the end of the day if you don't even try then it's a guaranteed waste of the money if you give it a shot then even if you race through it there's a good chance you'll pass anyway and save having to rebook.

I arrived 45 minutes early for mine and was able to start straight away.

There was a constant stream of candidates coming and going. When one finished their test another was ushered in.

Around 20-30 mins, just dont rush it too much.

[Scobblelotcher]

Just over 20 mins for both parts, most questions you either know the answer or not.

It’s very easy if you’ve done you homework.

Took about 5 minutes, but that was only the 50 multichoice questions and were so simple with the best part of 15 years driving experience. There wasn’t a hazard perception test back then.

Pay 3-4 quid for one of the phone apps that give you the full set of questions. Every time you have a spare 5-10 minutes run through the quiz. You will very quickly start remembering the answers just through repetition. Continue to do this until you are consistently passing the test within about 10 minutes.

However, when you go take it, take your time and make sure you re-read each question and then review them all at the end if you can.

Should take you about half an hour to forty five minutes if you are careful and take your time.

I think you get up to an hour so that'd be the longest.
Like any other multiple choice tests I answer with what feels right and don't look back, works for me.

I was a bus driver for a while, company did all lessons and tests in house. It was my day to do my theory test and you had someone overlooking what you were doing, I finished the questions in around 5-6 mins and got a bking say how could I have paid attention etc. Got 49/50 that shut him up lol.

Done my theory test early this year, took about 20/25mins to complete both parts from memory.

I would turn up nice and early and you'll probably be sent in earlier than your stated time, it's worth trying and rushing than not turning up and having to rebook.. with road knowledge and a little bit of home work, there's a good chance you'll pass!

20-30 minutes. However, there was a small delay at the start as someone was kicking off about failing...

Also, less stuff you take in - coat, jackets, phones etc. the quicker you get in as less faffing with lockers etc. I went during work hours, in my suit, i had to roll up my sleeves, take off my tie etc. show under my collar etc. They seem to take the cheating thing seriously...

Get there 20 minutes early and you might be able to get in earlier as well.

It's not hard, most of it at the end of the day is common sense..

[tektas]

If I remember correctly it took me 15 minutes

[Biker 1]

Half an hour-ish, but don't forget you need to check-in & do all the paperwork etc., not to mention getting there & parking....
