Lesotho Theory Test exam-day guide
Lesotho Theory Test · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Valid photo ID
Bring the original identity document you registered with - typically a national ID, passport, or driver's licence. Confirm with the testing provider which forms of ID are accepted and whether photocopies are refused.
Appointment or booking confirmation
Print or save the confirmation showing your test date, time, and reference number. The provider may require it at check-in; confirm the exact requirement with the provider.
Proof of payment / receipt
Bring the receipt for the test fee if you paid in advance. Confirm with the provider whether a printed receipt is required or an electronic copy is acceptable.
Learner's licence or prerequisite document
If the test requires a learner's licence or prior permit, bring the original. Confirm with the provider which prerequisite document applies to your test class.
Glasses or contact lenses if you need them
If you wear corrective lenses for driving, bring them. Vision-related checks may apply; confirm with the provider whether a vision screening is part of the day.
Arrive early
Plan to arrive well before your appointment time to allow for check-in and verification. Confirm the exact arrival window with the provider.
Know your route and transport plan
Confirm the test centre location and how you will get there, allowing extra time for traffic. If a practical driving test is involved, confirm whether you must bring a vehicle and its documents.
Vehicle documents (if a practical driving test is included)
Bring the vehicle's registration, insurance, and roadworthiness documents if you are supplying the vehicle. Confirm with the provider the exact document list and vehicle requirements.
Leave prohibited items at home
Do not bring phones, smart watches, notes, or study materials into the testing area unless the provider explicitly permits them. Confirm the provider's rules on personal items and storage.
Read the provider's candidate instructions
Review any information sheet or email sent by the testing provider for test-day rules, timing, and scoring. Requirements vary; confirm with the provider.
Plan the day
Re-confirm your appointment date, time, and location with the provider. Check that your ID and any required documents are valid and in hand. Review the format of the test and the main rule areas (road signs, right-of-way, speed limits, vehicle safety) without cramming new material.
Check transport and, if a practical driving test is included, confirm the vehicle you will use and that its documents are current. Confirm with the provider whether you must supply the vehicle.
Pack your ID, confirmation, receipt, and any prerequisite documents in one place. Get a full night's sleep. Avoid last-minute study of unfamiliar topics; do a light review of the rules you already know.
Eat a normal meal, check traffic and weather, and leave with extra time. Bring only permitted items. Re-read the provider's check-in instructions.
Check in at the designated desk, present your ID and confirmation, and follow staff instructions. Ask staff if you are unsure where to wait or what happens next.
Read each question carefully, answer what is asked, and manage your time so you reach the end. If a practical driving portion follows, follow the examiner's directions exactly and drive to the road rules you have learned.
Rules to check
Follow all instructions from test centre staff and examiners; their directions on seating, timing, and conduct take precedence.
Present the original ID you registered with; do not rely on photocopies or another person's documents. Confirm accepted ID forms with the provider.
Do not use phones, smart watches, or unauthorised materials during the test. Confirm the provider's policy on personal items and storage before the day.
Do not communicate with other candidates about test content during the session.
If you need a break or feel unwell, tell staff immediately rather than leaving the testing area unannounced. Confirm the provider's policy on breaks.
Scoring and pass marks are set by the testing authority; ask the provider for the current pass criteria and how results are issued rather than relying on hearsay.
If you arrive late or without required documents, you may be refused entry or rescheduled. Confirm the provider's late-arrival and rescheduling policy in advance.
Keep the vehicle you use for any practical portion clean, roadworthy, and properly documented; confirm the provider's vehicle requirements beforehand.
