Unlike the car or motorcycle licensing requirement, where you would have to take both the UK driving theory test sections simultaneously, for lorry or bus license you can take the tests on two different days. Whether you take both the tests on the same day or on different days, the Pass Certificate will be sent to you only after you complete both of them successfully. The two-year validity of the certificate is based on the date of the first test that you have taken. Therefore, if you fail to take and pass the practical exam within two years of the first section, you have to retake that specific section.

Whether you have successfully passed the UK driving theory test or have not been successful, you will receive a letter from the DSA with a feedback on your performance. This will help you understand which areas of the test you did not pass, and helps you retake another section with ease.
