From 28 September this year the theory test for car drivers, motorcycle and moped riders will include a case study. It will take the form of a scenario on which five multiple choice questions will be asked. This case study, and the questions based on it will appear at the end of the multiple choice phase of the test and make up the final five questions of the fifty asked.
The reason for the inclusion of a case study is to improve the assessment of the understanding of the candidate, rather than just their ability to memorise answers. Unlike the theory questions, the DSA won’t be publishing the case study scenarios. If you know your theory and understand it, then the case study element shouldn’t be a problem for you.
