The computerised learner’s licence test
Testing centres are moving the learner’s licence test from paper to tablets: the computerised learner’s licence test (CLLT), an initiative of the Road Traffic Management Corporation. Here is what to expect, from Hessequa Municipality’s page about it.
Checked against its sources on .
64 questions in 60 minutes
The system picks 64 questions from a bank of 1,200, on the rules of the road, road signs and vehicle controls, and you have 60 minutes. The pass requirements are the same as for the paper test, and you must pass every section:
| Section | Questions | To pass |
|---|---|---|
| Rules of the road | 28 | 22 right |
| Signs, signals and markings | 28 | 23 right |
| Vehicle controls | 8 | 6 right |

Practise on a screen like it
K53 Simulator’s free taster works like the tablet: one question at a time with three answers, a clock, a flag to come back to a question, and a grid to review them all before you hand in. Hessequa Municipality’s page points learners to the manuals on the NaTIS website, such as the Learner Driver Manual.
