FAQ
The pass mark for the theory test is 86%. To pass the multiple-choice section, you need to answer 43 out of 50 questions correctly. There will be a time limit of 57 minutes. As the test is completed digitally, you will get an opportunity to practise on a few sample questions before the exam begins.
In fact, a recent study revealed that the current pass rate for the theory test is lower than it has been for over a decade, with over 50% of learners coming out of the test with a fail. If you find yourself in this already busy boat, do not despair!
Contact the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency ( DVSA ) to get help cancelling your theory test appointment. To cancel your theory test by phone or email, you'll need to give your: full name (as it appears on your driving licence) date of birth.
In fact, the 2019/20 pass rate was 47.7%, meaning that more than 1 in 2 candidates didn't reach the pass mark on either one or both sections. Most people pass within 2-3 attempts and, with the DVSA charging £23 for each test, your wallet will be rooting for you to pass in the fewest goes possible.
This means that over half the learner drivers who sit their theory test fail it, with boys achieving a 43.7% pass rate and girls achieving an even higher pass rate of 47.2%. The pass rate has fluctuated over time, with a peak of 65.4% in 2007/08 and 2008/09, compared to 45.2% in 2023/24.
Perhaps we really shouldn't be surprised by the fail rate. Back in 2007, the pass rate was actually a whopping 65% but it's been falling ever since. However, there is some 'good' news as it was 2022 that saw the lowest pass rate – 44% – compared to 2023's 45%. So that represents a one-percent increase in success…
