South Africa uses the Computerised Learner's Licence Testing (CLLT) system at most Driving Licence Testing Centres. The test is taken on a computer with multiple-choice questions covering road signs, rules of the road and vehicle controls. The system is available in multiple South African languages. You answer questions by selecting options on the screen. Results are typically provided immediately after completion. To pass, you must achieve the required pass mark (typically 77 out of 100). Familiarise yourself with the test format beforehand. Practice tests are available online and in study guides. The computerised system reduces administrative errors and provides standardised testing across centres.
