The hazard perception section fails more learners than multiple choice. Learn exactly how the scoring works and how to click correctly.
Hazard perception is the part of the theory test most people underestimate. The scoring system is precise — click too early, too late, or too many times, and you score zero for that clip. Understanding the mechanics before you practise is critical.
Each developing hazard has a scoring window — a period during the clip where your click will score. Click at the very start of this window and you score 5. Click progressively later and you score 4, 3, 2, or 1. Click outside the window: 0. The window is roughly "when the hazard begins to affect your driving decisions" — before you'd need to brake or change course.
