It goes without saying that you've got the best chance of passing if you put time and effort into studying. It's better to pace your study, rather than cramming at the last minute - especially as what you learn will give you a grounding for becoming a good driver for life.

It's worth checking out how long the wait time is to book a test . You can check and book your test on the Government website - there's normally about a two week wait time to book it in. You'll need to be mentally prepared on the day, so it makes sense to book it on a day when you are not going to be rush - or cramming for another exam the next day!

Get a good night's sleep the night before so that you'll be fresh and alert. On the day, check - and double check, that you have your driving licence with you - or there will be no test, and no refund!). You'll need to be at the test centre half an hour before your appointment, so make sure you leave plenty of time to get there.

You'll have 57 minutes to complete 50 multiple choice questions- you need to score 45 out of 50 to pass. There's a few possible answers to each one, so make sure you take the time to read each question thoroughly. If you get stuck on a question, you can flag it, carry on, and come back to it later. Often, looking at it afresh will help you identify the right answer. Once you've completed all the questions - if you have time, it's worth going back and and checking your answers, as you can change them at any point. We've written a handy guide to the theory test questions, which gives more advice.

Have faith in yourself - in the wise words of Mum (or Dad) - you can only do your best! We hope these tips will get you off to a flying start to ace your Theory Test - but don't worry if you don't pass first time - it takes people, on average, two times to pass. The test will highlight the areas you need to work on, so the best thing is to get your next test booked in ASAP and get some more study in while it's all fresh in your mind. Good luck!
