Revision of the Driver Theory Test to be introduced in October 2011
The Driver Theory Test Service has announced today Friday 9th September 2011, that the Driver Theory test for Car, Motor Cycle, Bus and Truck categories has been updated and the will take effect from Monday 24th October 2011. All candidates taking a test after this date will be required to sit the updated test.
Most of the 1500 questions in the theory test bank have been updated revised or replaced. The revisions include new questions and graphics as well as amended versions of existing questions. The format of the test based, on multiple choice questions, will remain unchanged, and candidates will still be required to answer correctly 35 out of 40 questions in order to obtain a pass certificate. Candidates at the end of their exam will regardless of passing or failing also be provided, based on their performance, with a list of the categories recommended for further study e.g. Road Signs, Markings and Traffic Regulations, Alert Driving and Consideration for Road Users etc. All of these correspond to the categories listed in the training Material in order to facilitate revision or help improve overall skills. Any member of the public with queries regarding the theory test bank and revised material should contact 1890 606 106 or log on to www.theorytest.ie
New versions of the supporting learning materials (The Official Driver Theory Test - Book & CD Fifth Editions) are currently being prepared and will be widely available from all good bookshops across the country, from late September. These will include a new clearer layout and design, together with detailed explanations of the correct answers to questions. The CD in particular will continue to provide ‘Practice Tests’ which simulate the real exam experience and allow candidates to gauge their learning progress. The new training aids will provide a more effective learning experience for candidates as they prepare for the theory test and their long term driving career.
The Road Safety Authority is making these changes to the driver theory test and its associated learning materials, to ensure that learner drivers are better prepared to embark on their on-road training. Once you have passed your theory test you should select an RSA Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) who will aid you in completing your driving theory syllabus and your driving test. You will find details of ADI’s in your area on www.rsa.ie.
