How to pass your motorcycle theory test first time before you move on to mod 1 and mod 2 practical tests

When you’re learning to ride a motorbike , you’ll need to pass the motorcycle theory test. This is the second element of passing your full motorbike licence , occurring before the two practical modules and after the CBT .

To pass the motorcycle theory test, you need a provisional motorcycle licence before booking, and this must be taken along to the test centre to be used a photo ID. If your licence doesn’t have a photocard portion you’ll need another form of identification.

Here MCN explains what to expect from the theory test and how to prepare for it.

• Stage one: Multiple choice
• Stage two: Hazard perception
• Pass or fail: what’s next?

How hard is the motorcycle theory test?

To a large extent, this depends on how much research you’ve done, whether you’ve passed your car theory test and how well you know the rules of the road.

The theory test is made up of two elements – a multiple choice test and a hazard perception test. Both are conducted on a computer, at specialist test centres.

To practice the motorbike theory test, the best thing to do is take practice motorcycle theory tests online and get familiar with the official books the test examines you on: The Highway Code , Know your traffic signs and Riding – the essential skills.

Once you think you’re ready, you can book your motorcycle theory test online .

The motorbike theory test stage one: multiple choice

You’ll have 57 minutes and will be asked 50 multiple-choice questions – though you don’t have to use the full allotted time.

When you arrive, you’ll be informed you can’t take personal items in with you and offered a locker to keep them in. Examples are earphones, smart devices, watches and bags. A member of staff will check what you have on your person, and it’s worth noting you’ll be breaking the law if you cheat in the theory test.

Before the test begins you can expect instructions on how the test will work and a chance to try out some practice questions to familiarise yourself with the screens and software.

When you begin, you’ll get questions with a set of possible answers. The format will be based on a case study, which takes the form of a short story. For example, you may watch a film and then be presented with a number of questions to answer.

The whole test should be about a real life situation you could come across while riding.

If you’re struggling with a particular question, you can ‘flag’ it and come back later to have another go. You’re also able to change your answers at any time during the test.

To pass this portion of the theory test, you’ll need to score 43 out of 50 .

At the end of your test you’ll get a three-minute break before you move on to the hazard perception test…

The motorbike theory test stage two: hazard perception

The hazard perception test consists of 14 video clips, each about a minute long, showing real riding situations. You have to identify the hazards that appear on the screen as they occur in front of you.

Each clip contains at least one ‘developing hazard’, which you’ll get points for spotting as soon as they occur. One of the clips will feature two of these hazards. A ‘developing hazard’ is defined as something that would cause you to take action, such as having to change direction or slow down.

You are scored on how quickly you identify the hazards. You can score a maximum of five points per hazard, and won’t lose points if you get it wrong. Don’t simply click away, though – you won’t score a thing if you click continuously in one place or in a set pattern.

Unlike the multiple choice test above, you only get one attempt at each clip and you can’t change your response once entered.

You can practice for this test by downloading an app from this page . You can also test yourself whenever you are on the road – scan the street for potential hazards and see how many you can spot.

Be aware that you won’t have a cursor on the computer when you take this part of the theory test – it’s about timing rather than the direction of the hazard.

You’ll need to score 44 out of 75 to pass this part of the motorbike theory test .

Passing or failing the motorbike theory test

You will find out if you have passed on the day of your test.

If you’re successful you’ll receive a letter saying so, and if you’re over 24 you’ll then have two years to take both modules of your motorcycle test . If you don’t do this, you’ll need to pass the theory test again.

If you fail your motorcycle theory test, you’ll get a letter to that effect. It will outline the parts you struggled with so you’ve got a chance to get extra practice in. You will then need to wait three working days before booking your test again.

Is it easy to pass the motorcycle theory test?

The totally depends on how prepared you are. If you go in blind, you might struggle, but do some research and you should be able to pass easily.

What is the pass mark for the motorcycle theory test?

The first part requires at least 43 out of 50 correct answers, while the second stage requires 44 out of 75.

How many questions can you get wrong on the motorcycle theory test?

As above, you can get six wrong on the first stage and 30 wrong on the second.

Can you take the motorcycle theory test online?

No, you must visit a test centre, although you can train for it online by completing a practice exam.

UK Motorcycle FAQ

• You’ll instantly know if you pass or fail the exam . To pass, you need a passing score on both parts of the test. If you fail either part, you will have to re-do the entire exam. Make sure you come well prepared as it’s time-wasting and costly to fail.
• You won’t be able to book the motorbike practical test until you have completed and passed the theory test. After passing your theory test, DVSA will provide you with a completion certificate that lasts for two years.
• You can book the motorbike theory test for £23. This cost includes both parts of the exam. If you have to cancel your exam, for any reason, you must provide at least 3 working days notice or you will lose the theory test fee.
• To sit the test , you will need to bring valid identification, such as a valid driving licence or a passport. Failure to bring valid identification will result in you not being allowed to sit the test.
• After completing your theory test, you won’t receive your licence just yet. Your next step is to complete Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) which is a requirement for taking the motorbike practical test. CBT training consists of classroom and practical skills training and is carried out by DVSA.
• Once you finish CBT , you’ll receive a certificate that lets you book the practical test. The practical test is split into two modules that must be taken in order - Module One and Module Two.
• Module One involves a series of off-road exercises around a circuit that is enclosed with coloured cones. You will also be quizzed on carrying passengers and on safety check questions about your bike. Module One costs £15,50.
• Module Two is when you ride on a public road observed by an examiner. The examiner will assess your ability to ride, control your bike, and interact with other road users. You’ll receive all instruction through a radio receiver. Module Two costs between £75 to £88,50 depending on when you book the test.

You're on a road with passing places. It's only wide enough for one vehicle. A car is coming towards you. What should you do? 

If you meet another vehicle on a narrow road and the passing place is on your left, pull into it. If the passing place is on your right, wait opposite it. 

What can rapid acceleration and heavy braking lead to? 

Using the controls smoothly can reduce fuel consumption by about 15%, as well as reducing wear and tear on your vehicle. Plan ahead and anticipate changes of speed well in advance. This will reduce the need to accelerate rapidly or brake sharply. 

When approaching a right-hand bend, you should keep well to the left. Why is this? 

Doing this will give you an earlier view around the bend and enable you to see any hazards sooner. It also reduces the risk of collision with an oncoming vehicle that may have drifted over the centre line while taking the bend. 

What can incorrect wheel alignment cause? 

If a motorcycle’s wheels are incorrectly aligned, tyres may wear unevenly and the motorcycle can become unstable, especially when cornering.  

You're riding a motorcycle that has an engine of less than 50 cc. What should you do if you see a queue of traffic building up behind? 

Try not to hold up a queue of traffic. This might lead to other road users becoming impatient and attempting dangerous manoeuvres. If you’re riding a slow-moving scooter or small motorcycle and a queue of traffic has built up behind you, look for a safe place to pull in so they can pass safely. 

When will your vehicle use more fuel? 

Check your tyre pressures frequently – normally once a week. If they're lower than those recommended by the manufacturer, there will be more ‘rolling resistance’. The engine will have to work harder to overcome this, leading to increased fuel consumption. 

Which vehicles should use the left-hand lane on a three-lane motorway? 

On a motorway, all traffic should use the left-hand lane unless overtaking. When overtaking a number of slower vehicles, move back to the left-hand lane when you’re safely past. Check your mirrors frequently and don’t stay in the middle or right-hand lane if the left-hand lane is free. 

On a road where trams operate, which of these vehicles will be most at risk from the tram rails? 

The narrow wheels of a bicycle can become stuck in the tram rails, causing the cyclist to stop suddenly, wobble or even lose balance altogether. The tram lines are also slippery, which could cause a cyclist to slide or fall off. 

You're approaching roadworks on a motorway. What should you do? 

Collisions often happen at roadworks. Be aware of the speed limits, slow down in good time and keep your distance from the vehicle in front. 

You're following a large vehicle. Why should you stay a safe distance behind it? 

If you're following a large vehicle but are so close to it that you can't see its exterior mirrors, the driver won't be able to see you. Keeping well back will also allow you to see the road ahead by looking past on either side of the large vehicle. 

You need to top up your battery. What level should you fill it to? 

Top up the battery with distilled water and make sure each cell plate is covered. 

What's a rumble device designed to do? 

A rumble device consists of raised markings or strips across the road, designed to give drivers an audible, visual and tactile warning. These devices are used in various locations, including in the line separating the hard shoulder and the left-hand lane on the motorway and on the approach to some hazards, to alert drivers to the need to slow down. 

When are you allowed to stop on a motorway? 

You must stop if overhead gantry signs show flashing red lights above every lane on the motorway. If any of the other lanes doesn't show flashing red lights or a red cross, you may move into that lane and continue if it's safe to do so. 

Who should obey diamond-shaped traffic signs? 

These signs apply only to tram drivers, but you should know their meaning so that you’re aware of the priorities and are able to anticipate the actions of the driver. 

What should you do when riding at night? 

At night, you should wear clothing with reflective material, to help other road users to see you. If your jacket doesn’t have reflective patches, you could wear garments that do, such as:

• a hi-visibility vest or tabard
• a reflective belt Also use your headlights on dipped or main beam, as appropriate. 

When should you wear full protective clothing while riding a motorcycle? 

Protective clothing is designed to protect you from the cold and wet. It also gives you some protection from injury, so it's important that you always wear protective clothing when you ride. 

What must you do before stopping normally? 

Check your mirrors before slowing down or stopping, as there could be vehicles close behind you. If necessary, turn and look behind before stopping. 

What's the legal minimum depth of tread for motorcycle tyres? 

The law says that the entire original tread must be visible, with a depth of at least 1 mm in a continuous band across at least three-quarters of the breadth of the tread. However, your tyres are your only contact with the road, so it's recommended that you replace them before they get to this level. 

You're on a three-lane motorway. There are red reflective studs on your left and white ones to your right. Which lane are you in? 

The colours of the reflective studs on the motorway and their locations are:

• red – between the hard shoulder and the carriageway
• white – between lanes
• amber – between the carriageway and the central reservation
• green – along slip-road exits and entrances
• bright green/yellow – at roadworks and contraflow systems

What can motorcyclists do to improve their safety on the road? 

Always ride defensively. This means looking and planning ahead, as well as anticipating the actions of other road users.

​Motorcycle Theory and Hazard Perception Tests | RideTo

Matt D · April 11, 2017

If you’re on this page it’s probably because you’re thinking of starting your motorcycling career and progressing towards a full motorcycle licence . Whether it’s just to commute to work in style or to go on a motorcycle world tour, you’ve come to the right place. It can be daunting when you first start looking into what you need to do. So we’ve broken down the theory and hazard perception test for you so you can understand what’s expected and how to prepare!

Please note, the theory and hazard perception tests are only required if you are progressing to any full licence past Compulsory Basic Training (CBT). If you are just planning to ride a scooter up to 125cc on L plates and not carry passengers, you don't worry about the below. Give our guide to motorcycle licences a read if you aren't sure.

Do you need to take a motorcycle theory test?

According to the government’s official page, you don’t need to take a theory test before you book a driving or motorcycle test if it’s:

• To upgrade a car licence, for example, from automatic to manual, or to tow a trailer
• To upgrade a motorcycle licence you’ve had for at least 2 years, for example, from category A1 (small motorcycle) to category A2 (medium motorcycle)
• To upgrade a lorry or bus licence, for example, from category C1 (medium) to category C (large), or to tow a trailer

Unless this is the case, you will have to take and pass the motorcycle theory and motorcycle hazard perception tests before you can take your practical tests, know as Module 1 and Module 2. You will only be able to book your practical tests once this has been completed.

How do I book my motorcycle theory?

The best place to start when booking is here .

The government website has a section dedicated to getting you going with booking a theory test. They also have a useful tool for finding local test centres in your area and never charge a premium for this service.

How much does it cost?

Luckily you won’t have to negotiate with any dodgy wheeler dealers over the phone for this. There’s set prices for each type of motorcycle test. Below is a list of the costs for every test you can book through the government:

Motorcycle theory test:

For this test you have 57 minutes to answer 50 multiple-choice questions. It might not seem it but this is plenty of time so don’t rush, take a breath and flag any questions you’re not sure about. You can also flick back to any previous question at any point.

How the motorcycle test works

The test takes place on a computer and you will be using a touch screen or mouse. You will be given the opportunity to do some practice questions if you need some time to get used to the way it works.

A question will appear on the screen with several possible answers. You have to select the right answer out of the possible choices.

Some questions are given as a case study to add context. The Gov.uk website states that the case study will:

• show a short story that 5 questions will be based on
• be about a real life situation you could come across when driving

Here is an example of something you’re likely to see in the test:

You are riding in wet weather. You see diesel fuel on the road. What should you do?

• Swerve to avoid the area
• Brake sharply to stop
• Accelerate through quickly
• Slow down in good time

What did you go for? The correct answer is to slow down in good time.

A lot of the questions will be common sense; drinking alcohol doesn’t improve your reflexes, driving blindfolded is not a good idea, adding heat seeking missiles to your motorcycle is frowned upon etc..

The pass mark for this test is 43 out of 50. (You will be given this result at the test centre)

This will lead straight onto the hazard perception test. (You’re allowed a short 3 minute break in between the two tests).

Hazard Perception Test:

This section of the test will only take 15 minutes and involves watching videos and spotting hazards as soon as they develop (just like for the driving test, but specifically designed and therefore different for motorcycles).

How the test works:

You will have to watch 14 clips and click as soon as you see a hazard developing. You will be scored depending on how quickly and accurately you spot the developing hazard. The system is simpler than it sounds, here’s a video by the DVSA explaining how the process works:

The Hazard perception test scoring:

You can score a maximum of 5 points for each developing hazard.

To hit 5 points, click as soon as you see the hazard developing.

It’s worth noting during the test:

You can’t lose points if you click and get it wrong. However, you won’t score if you click continuously or in a repetitive pattern.

You also only get one attempt at each clip which shows. Once you’ve seen it run, that’s your lot. You can’t go back and change your clicks.

This is something you can practice as a passenger on the road and over time motorcyclists do improve drastically. This skill is something which makes motorcyclists such good drivers, we’ve written an article about that here if you’re interested in the facts!

Hazard perception pass mark

To pass you need to score 44 out of 75.

The full licence theory and hazard perception pass mark

You need to pass both the theory and hazard perception to pass the test in full.

If you pass the theory and hazard perception:

You’ll get a letter with a pass certificate number at the test centre. Don’t lose this number! You’ll need it when you get round to booking your motorcycle practical tests.

This pass certificate number will last 2 years. So once you have it, you have 2 years to pass both modules of the motorcycle test. If you don’t, you’ll have to take the theory test again.

If you fail the hazard perception and theory:

So this is obviously the worst-case scenario. You’ll still get a letter at the test centre but it won’t be as good news. But fear not! It’ll tell you which parts you didn’t score enough points on so you can go away and prepare for another one. There’s also no limit to how many attempts you can make so it doesn’t matter. The only rule is that you have to wait at least 3 working days before taking your test again.
