Overview
The Computerised Theory Test (CTT) is the multiple-choice road rules test you must pass to get a Western Australian learner's permit. It checks your understanding of WA road rules. You can sit it on the same day you apply for the permit.
Who can apply
Anyone applying for a WA learner's permit sits the CTT. Students who have completed the Keys4Life program at school do not need to sit the test and instead provide their certificate when applying.
Exam pattern
| Licence type | Questions | Pass mark |
|---|---|---|
| Car | 30 multiple-choice | At least 24 correct |
| Motorcycle or moped | 35 multiple-choice | At least 28 correct |
You may not use a mobile phone or other device, or refer to the Drive Safe handbook, during the test.
Marking and results
A pass is valid for five years. If you fail, you must resit and pay a resit fee.
Fees
The learner's permit application fee is paid once you pass. A separate fee applies only if you choose the paper learner log book; the digital Learn&Log app version is free. The fee amounts are not listed on the pages used for this review, so check the Department of Transport site.
How to apply
Take the test when you apply for your learner's permit, then pay the application fee after passing.
