<h2><b>What is on the</b><b> DKT Test?</b></h2>
<h3><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Part one - multiple choice</b></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Before the test begins you’ll be given instructions on how the DKT test works. You can also select to go through a practice session of the multiple-choice questions to get used to the layout of the test. The real test will start at the end of the practice session.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A question and several answer options will appear on the screen and you have to choose the right answer to the question by touching the screen. Some questions may need more than one answer.</span></p>
<p><b>Passing score: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">You will have to be asked 100 questions and the passing score is 85 out of 100. </span></p>
<p><b>Time limit:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> You will have just less than two hours to answer the questions. If you have reading issues, you can apply for additional time and have just less than four hours to answer the questions.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Part two - hazard perception</b></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this part, you will first be shown a short tutorial clip about how the hazard perception part works. </span></p>
<p><b>The passing score </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">for LGV and PCV drivers is 67 out of 100.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>At the end of the test</b></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You will be invited to answer the survey questions to measure customer satisfaction and to consider what improvements can be made at the end of the hazard perception part of the test.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you do not want to and any information given is anonymous and confidential, you don't have to answer the questions. These survey questions don't change the result of the test.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you have completed the test you may get out of the examination room. When you have left the examination room, you won’t be permitted to enter it again. You will be given your result and feedback information within 10 minutes after completing the test.</span></p>
<h2><b>Documents to bring to the test</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You must bring both parts of your valid signed NI (Northern Ireland) driving licence (photocard and paper counterpart).</span></p>

You must get written confirmation from the DVLA of your provisional entitlement if your GB photocard licence does not show your provisional entitlement.</span></p>

<h2><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><b>What to do if you have lost your driving licence?</b></span></h2>
<p><b>Differences between NI and GB licences</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There were some changes that made to the format of Great Britain driving licences effective from 8 June 2015 have no effect on licences from the Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA) in Northern Ireland (NI). NI licences are made up of two parts, a plastic photocard and a paper part known as the paper counterpart.</span></p>
<p><b>Apply online</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can apply for a replacement licence (full or provisional) online.</span></p>
<p><b>Or, apply by post</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can change your driving licence by post.</span></p>
<p><b>Checklist</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You will need to:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- complete a DL1 'application for a driving licence' form, available from main Post Office branches </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- contain any remaining part of your licence</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- send your application and £30 fee to:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Driver & Vehicle Agency (DVA)</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Castlerock Road</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Waterside</span></li>

<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">BT51 3TB</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you have altered your name since your last licence was issued, you will need to complete sections 1c and 8 of the DL1 form and provide original documents to confirm your new name.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You cannot tell the DVA about a change of name online. If your name has changed since you received your last driving licence you will need to give documentary evidence of the change of name such as:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">your passport in the name by which you are known </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">or birth and marriage/civil partnership certificate or Deed Poll</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The evidence you bring must show a clear link between the name on the identity document and your present name. Photocopies are not acceptable.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Note - if you would like your supporting documents returned by secure delivery then contain a registered post or pre-paid Royal Mail Special delivery envelope with your application.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If your appearance has changed as your existing photograph was taken, or you are applying for a new full period licence, for instance, an optional renewal rather than a duplicate, you must provide a new photograph which you may need to have certified.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><b>Driving before your licence arrives</b></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When the DVA has received your valid application before you receive your licence you can drive as long as you:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">have held a Northern Ireland or Great Britain driving licence issued since 1 January 1976 or hold another exchangeable licence – explained at the following links: GBR, Jersey, Guernsey, IOM, Gibraltar driving licences and Exchanging your foreign driving licence</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">have made a qualifying application for a licence</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">aren't disqualified from driving</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">haven't been refused a licence for medical reasons or for not complying with the DVA medical enquiries</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">wouldn't be refused a licence for medical reasons (if in doubt, check with your doctor)</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">keep to any special conditions which apply to the licence</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’ve ever had, you must tell the DVA, or presently suffer from, a medical condition that may affect your driving.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><b>When you find your old licence</b></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Retorn the old licence to the DVA with a brief explanatory note as it is no longer valid in the case you find your driving licence after requesting or receiving your new replacement licence.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><b>When to expect your licence</b></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The DVA targets to process your licence in 10 working days of receiving a completed application. If your health or personal details have to be checked this may take longer. Permit at least four weeks for your driving licence to arrive before contacting the DVA.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You should contact DVA Driver Licensing in case your driving licence has not arrived six weeks after you made your application.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You must apply for a duplicate licence and pay the relevant fee in the case you do not tell the DVA within eight weeks that your licence has not arrived.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Before expiration, Driver Licensing will accept applications for renewal driving licences up to two months, giving you time to plan ahead and make sure that your licence is ready in good time for example for a planned trip such as a holiday.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><b>Driving on holiday</b></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you are going on holiday and hiring a car. Let’s check that your driving licence will be valid well before you travel.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><b>After passing the test(s)</b></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Car and motorcycle drivers will receive a certificate. LGV and PCV drivers will receive an embossed pass letter detailing the results for the part of the theory test. Once you pass both tests, you will receive your theory test certificate which consists of your theory test number. You will need this number when you book your practical test.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><b>Two-year rule</b></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Theory test certificates are valid for two years. If you do not pass your practical test within this two year period, you will have to take the other theory test. There are no exceptions to this rule.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><b>If you fail the test</b></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you fail your theory test you should look at the feedback and identify why you failed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can take another theory test straight away but you cannot take the test for another three clear working days. Therefore, if you fail your first test on Monday afternoon, you will have to wait until Friday morning.</span></p>
