You now need to answer 50 questions and will need to answer 43 out of the 50 questions correctly to pass. Candidates will also have to answer theory questions on a wider range of topics.
The DSA have said that reason for this increase is to raise standards. They also said that increasing the number of questions is designed to broaden a pupil's knowledge and should ensure comprehensive coverage of the whole syllabus.
This change has also coincided with an increase in the price of the theory test! What a surprise!!
