The PCV theory test explained.
Like when training to become a lorry driver, you may need to gain a full Driver CPC. The full Driver CPC is made up of 4 tests – 2 theory based tests and 2 practical tests. The Driver CPC part 1 test is the PCV theory test – this is the test we can help you pass.
You probably know how the theory test works but we’re going to tell you anyway. It is made up of two parts – the multiple choice questions part of the test and the hazard perception test. These are two separate tests but you can take them on the same day. You need to pass both parts of the PCV driving theory test to gain an overall pass for the Driver CPC part 1 test. Once you have passed both parts of the test, you’ll achieve your PCV theory test certificate.
You’re able to take the PCV Driver CPC part 3 practical driving test only once you have passed the part 1 theory test. But bear in mind that you’ll need to pass this test within two years of passing the part 1 theory test because if you don’t, you’ll need to pass the PCV theory test again. And you don’t want to do that if you can avoid it.
1. How much does the PCV theory test cost?
You can book both parts of the PCV theory test with the DVSA. The multiple choice part of the test (Driver CPC part 1 theory test) costs £26.00 and the hazard perception test (Driver CPC part 1 theory test) costs £11.00 – a total of £37.00. And remember, you need to book these tests separately but you can take them on the same day.
2. How does the PCV multiple choice questions test work?
You’ll get 115 minutes to answer all of the PCV multiple choice questions test. There are 100 questions in total and you need to score at least 85 to pass. You may be thinking that 100 questions is a lot but there’s no need to worry because with Driving Theory 4 All you’ll get the complete DVSA PCV practice multiple choice questions – the closest you’ll get to the real test.
3. How does the PCV hazard perception part of the theory test work?
If you’ve previously taken the hazard perception test for the Car driving theory, you’ll be glad to know that the format is the same. But with the PCV hazard perception test you’ll be presented with more videos. 19 in fact.
Each hazard perception clip will test your awareness of developing hazards. 18 of the video clips include 1 developing hazard and in 1 clip you’ll need to click for 2 developing hazards. A developing hazard is worth a total of 5 marks.
The PCV hazard perception test is marked out of 100 and you need to score at least 67 to pass this part of the test.
4. The different PCV licence categories explained
Here is a just a quick overview of the different PCV licences available.
Category D – this type of licence allows you to drive a bus with a trailer weighing no more than 750kg. But the bus can have 8 or more passenger seats.
Category D+E – this licence is the same as Category D but with the added perk of being able to drive a bus with a trailer weighing more than 750kg.
Category D1 – this is a minibus licence. With this licence you can drive a vehicle with 16 passengers or less, and a trailer weighing no more than 750kg. Something else to add is that the total length of the vehicle must not exceed 8 metres.
Category D1+E – includes the same entitlement as a D1 licence but you can drive a vehicle with a tailer weighing more than 750kg. However, it’s important to remember that when fully loaded the trailer is not permitted to be heavier than the vehicle. Also, the vehicle and trailer combined cannot weigh more than 12000kg.
