ADI theory test.
The theory test is the first of three tests you will need to pass before you can register as an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI).
It is made up of two elements: a set of multiple choice questions and a hazard perception test.
The theory test calls for a higher standard of knowledge than that expected of a learner driver, so you'll need to prepare thoroughly.This guide will explain what happens in each part of the ADI theory test, and what you need to do to pass.
The multiple choice element of the Approved Driving Instructor theory test
A multiple choice exercise is the first element of the theory test for prospective Approved Driving Instructors (ADIs).
The multiple choice element aims to test:
- Your knowledge of the Highway Code
- The rules of the road
- Your knowledge of instructional techniques
The test is carried out on a computer - you select your answers by simply touching a computer screen - and takes 90 minutes to complete.
You can work through a practice session - lasting up to 15 minutes - to get used to the system before starting the actual test. Staff at the test centre will be on hand to help with any difficulties in using the system.
The test is made up of 100 questions, split into four categories:
- Road procedure
- Traffic signs and signals, car control, pedestrians and mechanical knowledge
- Driving test, disabilities, and the law
- Publications and instructional techniques
Only one question appears on the screen at a time. It is possible to move backwards and forwards through the questions. You can also go back to any questions which you want to look at again, and it is easy to change any answers. The system will alert you if you have not completely answered a question.
After you have finished the multiple choice element, you can take a short break - up to three minutes - before moving on to the hazard perception element of the test.

The hazard perception element of the Approved Driving Instructor theory test
The hazard perception element of the Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) theory test takes place after the multiple choice part. You can take a break - of up to three minutes - between the two assessments.
The hazard perception element is designed to test your ability to identify potential dangers which may occur while you are driving.
First, you will be shown a tutorial video. This uses sample footage with a soundtrack - headphones are supplied - which explains how to complete this part of the test. You may repeat the tutorial once more if you wish.
The exercise consists of 14 video clips, each lasting about one minute. The clips feature various types of hazards, such as vehicles, pedestrians and road conditions. You will need to respond by pressing a mouse button as soon as you see a hazard developing that may result in you having to take some action, such as changing speed or direction.
The earlier you spot the developing hazard and respond to it the higher your score will be.
The test contains 15 scoreable hazards, and you can score a maximum of five marks on each hazard

Scoring the Approved Driving Instructor theory test
You will need to pass both elements of the Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) theory test in the same sitting to get an overall pass result.
The overall pass mark for the multiple choice part of the test is 85 per cent - ie 85 out of 100 questions answered correctly. However, you must reach a minimum mark of 80 per cent - 20 correct questions out of 25 - in each of the four categories:
- Road procedure
- Traffic signs and signals, car control, pedestrians and mechanical knowledge
- Driving test, disabilities, and the law
- Publications and instructional techniques
This means it's possible for you to get an overall mark of 85 per cent or higher, but still fail the exercise because you did not gain at least of 80 per cent in any one - or more - of the four categories.
For the hazard perception test, the pass mark is 57 out of a possible 75.
You will usually be given the results of your theory test before you leave the test centre. If you achieve an overall pass mark, you'll be given details about how to apply for the next part of the ADI qualifying test: part two - the practical assessment of driving ability.
