Theory Test

[Mathew]

Hello,
How long did you revise for your theory test before you actually took it? What resources did you use? What score did you get? Did you pass it first time? :)

Cheers!

Ran through a few online tests, a few hazard perceptions and checked a couple of questions I wasn't sure on on my way to the centre, passed first time, 47/50 on the test and lost like 5 marks on the hazard perception or something.

When you click on the hazard perception, wait 2 seconds then click again, just in case you clicked too soon :P

I've just started looking at hazard perception... surely there's loads of hazards in each clip? People walking up the road, someone at the bus stop, car pulling out, etc? How do you know which to click? Can you click as many times as you want (as long as it doesn't think you're cheating)? :)

Well done on your good result though! :)

afternoon before, instructor gave me a test simulator cd thingy & reading highway code i think. can't remember what score i got but passed first time anyway

I'd suggest you do an online test and see what you're like at the multiple-choice section. I'd then spend an hour or two revising it online (maybe more if you did really badly). Make sure you've got the hang of how the hazard perception works and you should be okay, click lots and even small things but not excessively for no need.

I unnecessarily revised for about 5 hours beforehand and got 50/50 both times I sat it but was useless when it came to hazard perception (quite reflective really as I'm an awful driver and passed on my third attempt purely through luck).

I went through an AA book and did nearly all the questions, I also did mock tests for both the questions and hazard perception on a BSM disk, as well as using the AA Iphone app when I could. Passed first time, 46/50 for the questions and 63/75 for the hazard perception.

Good luck. :)

just do some mock tests, i passed first time easy

About 2 or 3 days before, and only done about 2 hours a night, was pretty easy.

I got the CD in November and passed in January after doing a few tests every week on the disc. I could have sat it earlier but I kept putting it off. Got 45/50 and 59/75.

Sounds reassuring since I'm really nervous when it comes to any kind of test. Think I'm going to book my theory test soon

I used this DVD:

I passed recently, booked my test in like mid January, passed theory on Feb 16th, but I only got like 3 revision sessions in taking around 2 hours on each one. Got 47/50 and 47/75. I recommend the mock tests, wouldn't have passed if I didn't do them. I was panicking like mad at the whole thing, but the hazard perception is more timing it at when it develops into a hazard, instead of presuming and clicking beforehand. I lost a fair few points for that reason.

I'm gonna take a look online tomorrow at school and then use the CDs I have. Do you click the hazard perception for every single incident you might see as a hazard? What if there's a car pulling out and people at the bus stop.. there's the potential for them to run out.. so should you click it for that? Would you get marked down for clicking it for something that isn't a hazard? :P

I've been revising on the RAC App and getting just the odd one incorrect, but found that it's only covered 2 out of 14 categories.. oops! :P The hazard perception looks more challenging so I'm worried for that one!

LOL, same. It's nice to see that people found it easy... it's light at the end of the tunnel! :P

That's the DVD that my friend gave me! I'll get as many mocks done as I can but I'm soooo nervous for hazard perception!
