Theory
The LGV Theory test consists of 60 Multiple Choice Questions covering a wide range of topics. This is done on a touch screen computer system. The pass mark is 51 correct answers.

Then there is a three minute break followed by your Hazard Perception Test. For this, you will be shown 14 clips in which you must recognise the potential hazards; the scoring window uses a scale of 1-5 according to how soon you spot the hazard. The pass mark is 50 correct answers out of a possible 75.

The theory test, (including both parts), costs £32.00 and is held at a DSA designated test centre. There is a theory test centre in Boston. When a driving course is booked, each trainee will be given a LGV theory book or CD – ROM (with questions, answers and hazard perception) to help with the theory test.
