Let’s talk about the theory section in this
Article; What does a Full Theory exam include?
Theory Test
Part I
As said before, the Theory part has two
parts and they each have a similar format, let’s start with the Theoretical
Questions and then move to the Case Study.
Theoretical
Questions & Hazard Perception
The Theoretical Questions are all formatted
as Multiple choice questions, the questions are not only about the
technicalities but also about different little situations and how you need to
act accordingly to the events. The Questions can have more than one answers and
the questions will tell you how many answers you need to mark in the form of
multiple choices below. Let’s take an example below;

(Mark Any Three)
□

□

□

Out of these there are three correct
answers and three wrong ones, however the whole question will be one mark. You need
at least 85% on the test of these Multiple Choices to pass, if you fail to hit
the mark, you will need to redo the full exam.
The Hazard Perception Test in the Driver
CPC is more about understanding potential hazards and assessment of the
hazardous situations. There are 19 Video Clips of different situations in the
test involving different hazards, they need to be pointed out for you to pass
the test. Each video has 20 hazards, for each hazard it is recommended to press
the hazard button multiple times for it to register during test. Each clip by
itself can have up to 5 marks maximum.
