Theory Test Most Failed Questions

[Shawana Kallhoff]

Tensof thousands of learners practise their theory tests online or in-app with Theory Test Pro. It means we can deep dive into the answers and uncover the questions that are causing the most problems for you and your learning.

Theres no denying that passing your driving test and going finally going on a drive in your new car is one of the most satisfying feelings you'll ever have. It also may open up a new world of responsibility and maturity you might not be used to. However, after being a learner for so long, finally being able to get your 'trainig wheels off' and experience freedom is unbeatable.

With such a feeling however must come with challenges. The first challenge you face before you even think about your driving test is the theory test. This must be completed first and expires after a two year period. Dont worry though, wer're here to help. After gathering enough data we have the 8 most failed theory test questions to get you off on the right foot.

Now, you may laugh at this question and think its a no brainer however its actually caught a lot of people out. This is due to answers which are usually shown to try and throw you off. First, lets learn the definition of clearway. Clearway - "a main road other than a motorway on which vehicles are not normally permitted to stop." Knowing this, its hard to get the question wrong however, if you have a road or vehicle emergency its obviously invalid. So look out for those answers in case they try and catch you out.

The main reason this can be confusing to a lot of people is because of how many different studs and motorway lights there are. Also, like a lot of poeple say, when your travelling at 70mph whos consentrating on the lights and studs on the motorway?

So why is it important to know? Low visibility is the answer, just think about it. If your driving at night, on a foggy day and cant see much of the road, the way to judge where you are or what lane your in is the studs. The amber reflective studs are on the edge of the right hand side next to the central resevation. A good way of remembering this is like a traffic light. Forgetting about red and green, amber is usually in the center and on a motorway they are there to stop you going into the central resevation being right next to it.

The white is easy to remember as they are between lanes along with white lines. The red studs are located between the hard shoulder and carrageway. You can remember this by thinking about the only time you are allowed to stop on a hard shoulder. Red standing for When you have a problem or emergenecy.

So, this brings us to the answer of the question. The answer is Green! This is also easy to remember because if you think about the traffic light again, what colour tells you to go? Green! So "going/ proceeding" onto the motorway is the way to remember it.

Here, you might think there are tons of places/scinarios where you should avoid overtaking. You're absolutely right, so your best bet is to go with your gut on this one, If theres an obvious one go for it. The most common answer we usually see pop up is "approaching a dip in the road"

The part which you are required to look after are seatbelts, this is due to the fact they reduce the risk of serious injury by 50% and death by 45%. There are a few spares which the law requires you to have on your car such as wing mirrors.

Another simple sounding one, however theres so many things you could do people tend to get overwelmed. They will also try to catch you out with this one, so dont click any answers with "only" or if it says "after" you've moved off. The proper answer is, check all mirrors, all blind spots, indicate if nessessary and slowly move off. They usually wont show you this option though.

The answer to this is the vehicles registration document. Here you must first think about what the dangers of leaving things in your car is. The most obvious thought is in case someone steals it. Then you must think whats one thing i wouldnt want my car thief to have that would make there next job extremely easier. Yup, the documents for the vehicle!

The answer here is to brake strong and firmly until the car has come to a complete stop. Again, the key is filtering out all the answers it cant be. Being able to stop the vehicle is undoubtibly extremely important, especially in an emergency. The job of ABS is to stop your brakes from locking and the car skidding when you brake sharply, so you'll usually hear a grinding type of noise coming from the brake when the anti-lock braking system is activated.

So, hopefully you've learnt a few thigs in this article. A perfect way to find out is retake the quiz, practice makes perfect after all. Now your only one more challenge away from reachng the end goal which i can promise you is worth it! Just keep doing quizes, practice and revision until your getting 45-50 questions right everytime and you'll be alright.

Many people take their theory test and fail by one or two points, here we have put together some of the most incorrectly answered questions. Maybe you have failed or maybe you are about to take the test, try our little test, you never know maybe that one correct answer is hiding here. We will send you an email with a more in depth look at the answers once you have finished.

Ever wonder what sends shivers down the spines of driving theory test takers? We've analyzed responses from hundreds of learners on Theorypass to identify the most challenging questions. Put simply, without studying, your odds to answer all questions correctly are just 1 in 3,800. This could explain the disappointing national theory test pass rate of 46.1%.

This post features 10 of these brain-teasers, along with the percentage of learners who aced them. We'll delve into what makes these questions so tricky and offer insights to help you conquer them. Scroll down to the end for the answers and full analysis!

Explanation: To rejoin the carriageway from an emergency area, you must use the emergency telephone and follow the operator's advice. A lane may have to be closed so that you can rejoin the carriageway safely.

Explanation: If your wheels are out of balance, it will cause the steering to vibrate at certain speeds. This isn't a fault that will put itself right, so take your vehicle to a garage or tyre fitter to have the wheels rebalanced.

Explanation: Pelican crossings are signal-controlled crossings operated by pedestrians. Push-button controls change the signals. Pelican crossings have no red-and-amber stage before green; instead, they have a flashing amber light. This means you must give way to pedestrians who are on the crossing but if the crossing is clear you can continue.

Explanation: You can overtake other traffic on either side when travelling in a one-way street. Make full use of your mirrors and ensure it's clear all around before you attempt to overtake. Look for signs and road markings, and use the most suitable lane for your destination.

Explanation: You may pass slower vehicles on their left while travelling along a one-way street. Be aware of drivers who may need to change lanes and may not expect faster traffic passing on their left.

Explanation: On motorways, reflective studs of various colours are fixed in the road between the lanes. These help you to identify which lane you're in when it's dark or in poor visibility. Amber-coloured studs are found on the right-hand edge of the main carriageway, next to the central reservation.

Explanation: You should normally use the left-hand lane on any dual carriageway unless you're overtaking or turning right. When overtaking on a dual carriageway, look for vehicles ahead that are turning right. They may be slowing or stopped. You need to see them in good time so that you can take appropriate action.

These questions are the toughest of the bunch, and just a taste of what can come up in the real exam. Hopefully, facing the theory test's trickiest questions has given you the confidence to tackle the rest.

Because so many people use our site to test their knowledge, we have a rich history of data on each test question (over 1,000 multiple choice questions from the DVSA revision question bank). This means we can see which questions people struggle with and which ones they find easy.

We've analysed the data from the last 100,000 quiz attempts on this site. We've then looked at the percentage of people that got each question correct. This has revealed the most difficult theory test questions.

I am currently preparing to take the PSMI and it seems I am doing exactly what you did in terms of reading and mock test taking even before reading your post. So it's good to know that this level of preparation may lead to success on a first attempt.

Lots of questions from all the different sources were here in exam, like word-to-word questions... so to answer them was no-brainer, because you memorize everything during mock exams. But a few questions were rather challenging. Somehow I managed to nail most of them. I guess you just start thinking logically and apply common sense in such cases. I prepared lots of notes in advance, but oddly enough I didn't use them. Everything is my notes I remembered by heart, and for every "puzzling question" i could't find clear answer on the internet.

I've been studing for the test since last week: read the Scrum Guide many, many times, took my own notes and done the free mock tests (open assessments in scrum.org and michael). I started getting very good grades in a row (more tham 95% in average in both) and decided to buy the password for the certification.

Then I read your tips in the forum, and went in volkerdon.com as well. Harder mock tests, failed in the first one (40 test questions), barely passed in the second and third mocks. As you mentioned, `trickier` questions (attend x participate) , detailed questions not in the Scrum Guide (cone of uncertainty, scrum poker, technical debt, sucess metrics for PO, automated builds, scrum of scrums, integrated Increment) - though one can guess after a while.
