Introduction |
|
The Traffic Police will be implementing a new
system called the Computerised Theory Test (CTT) on 1 June 2005. |
|
The new system will allow theory tests – both
basic and advanced to be taken and processed in a computerized environment. |
|
Advantages of CTT |
|
Under the CTT system,
candidates will take the theory tests, available in four languages, by
answering the questions on a touch-screen computer. There will be simple
instructions on the computer screen to guide candidates through the
questions. An invigilator will also be present to brief the candidates
before the test and render assistance throughout the test. |
| Other than being user-friendly, CTT
offers efficiency and convenience for candidates. Candidates are able to
take their tests and know their results on the spot. This cuts down the
waiting time for the results tremendously. Currently, test results are
only available to candidates seven working days from the test date. |
| Transfer and update of information on
candidates’ records will also be real time. This will mean that those
who had passed the basic theory test can immediately book for the final
theory test or apply for their provisional driving license without any
delay. |
|
|
How to book for CTT |
|
CTT will be available for booking starting 3 May
2005 (Tuesday) at any of the three driving centres at Singapore Safety Driving
Centre, Bukit Batok Driving Centre and Comfort Driving Centre. |
|
To book the CTT, you will need to first open an
account with any one of the three driving centres. After you have done so, you
may book for CTT at either the driving centre’s self service kiosks or via its
internet web-site. |
|
The tests will be conducted from 8.30am to 9pm,
Mondays to Fridays, and from 8.30am to 12 noon on Saturdays. |
