Astonishing new data shows that nearly 300 learners got EVERY theory test question wrong. The data, published by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA), highlights the importance of doing the recommended 20 hours of revision to prepare for the theory test, which costs \u00a323 a time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

According to the DSA data, a staggering 279 learner drivers completely flunked by getting every theory test question wrong, sparking fears that many candidates don\u2019t either bother revising or referring to the Highway Code<\/a> and put all their hopes of passing the test on chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Worryingly, even though the test features 50 multiple-choice questions, the data further reveals that 222 people scored just one correct answer, while a whopping 1,603 answered ten questions or fewer correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Randomly Guess Theory Test Question Answers <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The DSA claims that even if candidates were to randomly guess an answer to a theory test question, they should get at least 12 right, because every question comes with four possible answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Campaign groups have blasted the flunking candidates, questioning whether they even take the theory test<\/a> seriously. One campaign group said: \u201cTo score zero is \u2018quite an achievement\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it is acknowledged that some theory test questions are difficult, it\u2019s generally agreed that many just require common sense. There are around 1,000 questions in the UK theory test database, from which candidates are expected to answer 50, selected entirely at random.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Theory Test Questions Catching Candidates Out<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The DSA referred to one theory test question, which was answered incorrectly quite frequently\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
