Dyslexia and other reading difficulties
People with dyslexia, or who have other reading difficulties, can listen to the
questions on headphones with an English or Welsh voiceover. They can also
request double the normal length of time to complete the multiple choice part
of the theory test. However, they will be required to provide a written
statement for their requirements from a teacher, educationalist or other
suitably qualified professional. If a candidate cannot provide such a statement
they should call the theory test enquiry line on 0870 01 01 372 and speak to a
member of the ‘Special Needs’ team to agree what other form of requirement
can be accepted.
