Learner's licence test pass marks

The pass mark for each section

Signs asks the most of you: 23 right out of 28.

Pass marks from Government Notice R.93 of 2006. Percentages and wrong answers allowed are worked out from them.

How the scoring works

Each section passes or fails on its own. Your total does not decide the result.

Say you get 28 of 28 for signs, 8 of 8 for controls and 21 of 28 for rules. That is 57 out of 64, and it is a fail, because rules needs 22.

So your weakest section decides the result. When you study, spend the most time where your score is lowest.

On the computer test the system marks your answers, and your result is ready as soon as you finish.

Where the margin is smallest

You can afford 5 wrong answers on signs, and only 2 on controls.

Signs has the highest pass mark of the three, so give it a large share of your study. Start with what the colours and shapes mean.

Controls has only 8 questions. Two slips are all you can spare, so a section that looks small can still fail you.

Codes 1, 2 and 3

The pass marks are the same for every code. The controls questions change.

Government Notice R.93 sets one set of pass marks, 22, 23 and 6, with no separate marks per code.

The Regulations say the examiner checks that you know the controls of a vehicle of the class you are applying for. Code 1 is for a motorcycle or motor tricycle, Code 2 for a motor vehicle with a tare of up to 3,500 kg, such as a car, and Code 3 for heavier vehicles such as trucks and big buses. Which code do I need?

In K67 your code sets your question pool: 1,158 questions for Code 1, 1,210 for Code 2 and 1,232 for Code 3.

The computer test kept the same marks

The test moved to a touchscreen. The pass marks did not change.

Hessequa Municipality says the same pass requirements still apply: 22 of 28 for rules, 23 of 28 for signs and 6 of 8 for controls. How the computer test works.

How K67 marks a mock test

The same way: three sections, three pass marks.

K67's mock gives you 64 questions in the 28 / 28 / 8 split, with a 60-minute timer. It marks each section against 22, 23 and 6, so you can see which section needs more work. K67 does not have the questions from your test and cannot promise a pass.
