Swindon Theory Test Centre Directions

The theory test centre has two parts: a computerised part where you take a series of tests and a paper part where you sit behind the wheel of a car and drive around a track. It takes about three hours to complete both sections. If you pass the theory test, you will receive a certificate from the DVSA.

Bus

The bus service is provided by FirstGroup. It operates a network of routes across London and the South East, including services from central London to destinations including Brighton, Crawley, Gatwick Airport, Heathrow Airport, Portsmouth, Reading, Slough, Southampton, St Albans, Stansted Airport, Sutton Coldfield, Watford, Windsor, Worthing and Wimbledon.

Train

The train is a great way to travel around the UK if you don’t want to drive. It’s cheap, easy to book, and it’s always available. But trains aren’t perfect – they take longer than buses, and they’re not always reliable. They can also be pretty smelly!

licence

The theory test is one of the most important tests you will ever take. It’s not just about knowing what to do, but also being able to apply this knowledge in real life situations. If you don’t pass the theory test, you won’t be allowed to sit the practical test.

When you do not need a theory test

If you don't need a theory test, then you should take it at least once every two years. The theory test will tell you what type of vehicle you need to pass your practical test. It's important to know this because if you fail the theory test, you'll have to wait until you've passed the practical before you can retake the theory test again.

What is the theory test pass mark?

The pass mark for the theory test is 70%. If you fail this section, you will not be allowed to sit the practical test.
