ADI Part 1 Theory and Hazard Perception Test
The ADI part 1 is a theory based test using a computer by touching the screen. A 15 minute practice session is available before the actual test. Test centre
staff will help with using the equipment.
The theory element lasts 90 minutes in which time you must answer 100 questions which are split into four bands. The reason for the banding is to ensure
the candidate has a comprehensive knowledge of the whole syllabus.
The four bands are:
1. Road procedure
2. Traffic signs and signals, car control, pedestrians and mechanical knowledge
3. Driving test, disabilities and traffic law
4. Publications and instructional techniques
Pass marks
Hazard Perception Test
This test is designed to test your abilities to identify hazards. First you will be shown a tutorial video which you can repeat if you wish. The test consists of 14
video clips which last for about a minute each. In each clip there will be a developing hazard which you will need to react to by clicking a mouse button as
soon as you see a hazard which could be other vehicles, pedestrians or other road conditions, which if you were driving would require action by changing
speed or direction. There are 15 scoreable hazards and you need to respond as soon as you spot the hazard. The pass mark for the hazard perception test is
57 out of 75.
If you fail on either part of the test you will have to take the complete part 1 test again. There are no restrictions as to how many attempts you may have at the
theory/hazard perception test.
Part 1 study
Please find below the recommended books and publications that you would be advised to read in order to prepare for the ADI part 1 exam. A lot of training
organisations will try to sell you these books at over inflated prices. It is possible to pass the ADI part 1 with just home study.
As well as buying the books and studying them, there is software available to practice the hazard perception test and take practice ADI part 1 tests. So if you
have a home PC or a laptop, you can practice when you want.
