Training - Theory Test

Capital Motorcycle Training can help our pupils to understand what to expect from their motorcycle theory test and we can advise on how to prepare adequately for it.  The Theory Test for Car Drivers and Motorcyclists was introduced in July 1996. It is designed to improve the safety of newly qualified riders by making them think carefully about the right attitudes needed to ride safely on today's busy roads.

Areas of assessment include

To pass the exam you must answer at least 30 out of 35 multiple-choice questions correctly. To help you study and prepare for your theory test the Driving Standards Agency produce the Official Theory Test for Motorcyclists containing the questions and answers. This is updated annually.

The core material for the theory test questions are taken from the following DSA publications

It is important that you study - not only to pass the test - but also to become a safe rider. More information is available on the DSA  site by visiting the Publications section.

When you take the theory test, you’ll be asked some specific questions regarding the category of vehicle being tested, as well as questions that apply to all road users.

Weekday, evening and Saturday test sessions are available. Arrangements can be made for candidates with special needs. You must tell Booking Section Staff about your special needs when you book your test.
