Theory tests are mandatory if you want to gain your HGV licence in the UK. The Multi Choice (MC) and Hazard Perception (HP) are independent theory tests that must be passed in order to take the practical driving tests (3A and 3B). They must be competed at a DVSA approved test centre. EP Training will book your theory tests for you.
Theory tuition and tests are an inconvenience and certain elements are questionable as to relevance and value in the relevance in regard to gaining an HGV licence.
For example everyone must pass the Hazard Perception (HP) theory test in order to gain HGV. This is exactly the same HP that all car drivers would have taken when gaining their cat B licence. The HGV HP does not reflect the real vision a lorry driver will experience as it is still conducted at a car level. Also in order to pass the HGV HP students must cheat by deliberately clicking for the hazard late as the test is designed for novice drivers and not experienced drivers.
Regardless they must all be passed and the only way to ensure success is to study appropriately. EP Training’s customers will be set up with an online theory tuition app which will give access to all the official questions you will to know. Our best advise when it comes to passing the theory test is this:
Module 1a MC. Complete 1 mock theory test every day from when you receive the app to the day of your theory test. 100 questions and get at least 85 correct.
Module 1a HP. In the test itself you will be shown 19 video clips with 20 scoarable hazards. 18 of those videos have just one hazard whereas the 19th (and it’s not in any particular order) has 2. The hazards are easy to identify however to ensure a pass make sure you delay your click when identifying when they occur. We suggest you count to two in your head before clicking.
