Drivers should head for Dundee city centre and follow the signs marked Dundee City Centre, then look out for one of the pay-and-display car parks nearby, since parking directly outside the centre isn’t guaranteed. Coming by rail, Dundee railway station is close enough for a short taxi ride or a brisk walk depending on how much time you’ve left yourself. Bus travellers have several local routes to choose from; check the timetable in advance so you know which stop leaves the shortest walk.
Leave a buffer before your appointment time. The DVSA will turn away candidates who arrive after their slot has started, which means forfeiting the fee and having to rebook. You’ll need your provisional licence and confirmation details on you, and it’s worth reviewing the official revision material rather than relying on memory of the questions from friends who’ve already passed, since the question bank is refreshed regularly.
Two sections make up the theory test: 50 multiple-choice questions needing 43 correct, then 14 hazard perception clips where the pass threshold is 44 out of 75. Photo ID has to match your booking exactly, and staff will turn you away without it; a provisional licence or passport both work. If you find reading difficult, extra time can be arranged with the DVSA ahead of your appointment, so it’s worth asking well before test day rather than on arrival. Belongings go in a locker, and the pass or fail result appears on screen straight after, well before any confirmation letter would land.
