How to Proctor a UK Driving Theory Test Online

The DVSA's official theory test -- 50 multiple-choice questions plus a hazard-perception clip section -- must be taken at an approved test centre; there is no remote-proctoring option for the real thing, and a failed attempt means at least a 3-working-day wait before retesting. Driving schools use Neuroxa to proctor mock theory tests and hazard-perception drills online instead, replicating the exact pass marks so learners know where they stand before booking the real appointment.
