Frequently Asked Questions

How can I prepare for the theory test?

From 23 January 2012 the theory test is made up of multiple-choice questions which are no longer published in learning materials.

The reason behind the move is to stop candidates from simply memorising theory test questions and answers and learning by rote.

Revision materials still available

New official driving and riding theory books were published in September 2011 to help candidates prepare for the test and for life on the road.

The new books contain:

• new sections of text for motorcyclists, a free e-book for car drivers and full references throughout to help candidates learn and revise
• questions and answers for revision, including practice for case studies

• the official DVSA explanations for every revision question, helping candidates fully understand the answer

This approach to learning is to help candidates to gain a better knowledge and understanding of driving theory which will help them respond correctly to the new, reworded live questions used in the actual test.

Can I start driving lessons with ECPC before passing my theory test?

The combination of practical experience with theoretical learning should help you perform better at the theory test. Your instructor will point out signs, signals and road markings from your very first lesson.
