Changes to the Driving Theory Test

C hanges to the theory test

From 1 May 2018, DVSA will be changing the way 78 theory test questions are worded, to make them more accessible to everyone.

Main changes to the questions

All of the 'continuation' questions in the test.  This type of question asks the candidate to choose an answer from a list, to complete a sentence.  We're changing the wording so that the candidate has to pick a statement to answer the question instead.

Plus they have removed long and complicated words, with shorter simpler words.  This includes replacing words like 'increased' and 'decreased' with 'bigger' and 'smaller'
