ADI Part 1 Theory Test

You'll have 90 minutes to complete the multiple choice part of the test. It sounds a long time, right?! But when you're taking the real test, time seems to go quickly. This is why it's important to manage your time effectively and read every question and possible answer.

The ADI Part 1 theory test can be booked with the DVSA and will cost you £81.00. You can take the test as many times as you want. But for the sake of your wallet, don't make failure an option. This is where Driving Theory 4 All can help you.

If you didn't already know, you'll be tested on 4 main topics:

The Driving Theory 4 All learning zone has also split the learning material into these 4 main topics, so that you can become familiar with them before you take the real test.

There are a total of 100 multiple choice questions in the real DVSA ADI Part 1 test. The 100 questions you will see are made up of 25 questions from each of the 4 topics.

Still with us? Good. Here comes the slightly confusing bit though. To pass the test you need to score at least 85 out of 100. But you will need to score at least 20 out of the 25 questions in each of the 4 topics.

So, yes this means that if you score at least 85 out of 100 but at the same time fail to score less that 20 in any of the 4 topics, you'll not pass the multiple choice part of the test.

If you thought the scoring for the multiple choice part of the test was complicated, you'll be pleased to hear that the scoring for hazard perception test is much easier to understand.

Like the Car theory test, you'll see 14 hazard perception video clips. 13 of these clips contain 1 developing hazard and 1 clip has 2 developing hazards. A maximum of 5 marks can be achieved for each hazard.

If you're quick with sums, you would have already worked out that the hazard perception test is marked out of 75. But what you probably don't know is that the pass mark is 57. If you achieve this score and pass the multiple choice part of the test, you'll achieve an overall pass for the ADI Part 1 test.

So, to be absolutely clear, to pass the ADI Part 1 theory test you need pass both parts of the test.
