The motorcycle theory test explained
The motorcycle theory test is the knowledge test you pass before booking your practical riding tests. Run by the DVSA, it has two parts sat in one sitting: multiple-choice questions and a hazard perception test.
Where it fits in getting your licence
The usual route is: complete your CBT (Compulsory Basic Training), pass the theory test, then pass the two practical modules (Module 1 off-road manoeuvres and Module 2 on-road riding). You need the theory test before you can book the practical.
Test format and pass marks
- Multiple choice: 50 questions in 57 minutes — you need 43 to pass.
- Hazard perception: 14 video clips with 15 developing hazards — you need 44 out of 75.
You must pass both parts in the same sitting.
What it covers
The questions are based on the Highway Code and DVSA guidance, with extra focus on riding: alertness and attitude, safety margins and weather, hazard awareness, motorcycle handling and loading, road signs and markings, rules of the road, and what to do at incidents.
How to revise
Work through every topic in study mode, then sit timed mock tests until you are consistently above 43 out of 50, and practise spotting hazards early. PassNova's motorcycle theory practice mirrors the real format and explains every answer — 100% free, no sign-up.

Motorcycle Theory Test: your questions answered
The multiple-choice part has 50 questions and you need 43 to pass, with 57 minutes to answer. The hazard perception part has 14 clips and a pass mark of 44 out of 75. You must pass both in the same sitting.
You complete your CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) first, then pass the theory test, then the two practical modules. You can ride on L-plates after CBT, but you need the theory test to book the practical.
The format is the same — 50 multiple-choice questions (43 to pass) plus hazard perception — but the motorcycle questions focus on riding: balance, safety margins, weather, protective gear and being seen. They are separate tests.
It is based on the Highway Code and DVSA guidance: alertness and attitude, safety margins, hazard awareness, motorcycle handling and loading, road signs and markings, rules of the road, and incident procedures.
Your theory test pass certificate is valid for two years. You must pass your practical tests within that time, or you will have to sit the theory test again.
