I am unfortunatly re-taking my driving theory :/ This is my 4th time going to take it!
First Try- Pass (46) Multiple Choice - Fail hazard (42) :(!
2nd- Fail Both :/
3rd- Fail Multiple Choice (40) Pass Hazard (44) :(
4th- xxxxxx - TBA -
So ive had ever combination but pass x2 :/!
Need some help/tips with both Multiple Choice and Hazard Perception!
Cheers <3
I used a CD Which my driving instructor sold me, i found that the questions i came accross on the actual theory test itself was mentioned in the cd.
Theory; Normally go with common sense, but sometimes you may have to think outside the box.
Hazard: You should have developed these skills whilst your driving, just be aware and keep your eyes moving around on the screen, just dont mass click otherwise your score for that clip will be 0 - You get a penalty.
I mean Yeah the Multiple Choice is Common sense but some questions you have to know like Stopping distances ETC. But the hazard is just stupid! You can see the hazard from a far away point and react and by doing this you score 0 because you were too quick. Thats what happened to me all the times. :/
All i done was;Quote:

Good luck btw =].
Thats what i did after reasearching tips the 3rd Time :/ and it only JUST got me a pass :( tbh i dont see why you have to pass both at the same time? 2 seperate tests? Just the Money making scam for the Government :/
and thanks :D!
Personally i think they are fair, plus the theory is valid for 2 Years from the date you pass.
Only reason why i think they are fair is basically there trying to 'educate' new drivers by making them sit 2 tests they are showing their knowledge of the roads, which in turn in the majority of cases makes 'safer' drivers.
tbh i'd think i have more experience driving first hand, not watching and trying to react too fast to a video :/ and tbh it doesnt make you any safer, as each situation you are in is different and is up to you to make a fair decsion ?
I passed mine second time, I borrowed a CD off my driving instructor which helped me. I also had the AA Theory Test app on my iphone aswell which I practiced with whenever I had free time, so I got good at the questions very quickly.
Another thing you could do is simply search online for "free hazard perception clips", only good if you have a decent internet connection though lol
I passed mine first time. Used the max amount of clicks for every clip. Like if i saw a hazard i'd click, wait click click wait etc obv not in a detectable pattern. Can't really explain what I mean.
I'd seriously recommend buying the official DSA Theory Test book simply due to the fact that the questions included in it are some of the ones you exactly see in the exam + it really gives you knowledge that is 100% correct (according to the Driving Standards Agency).
Yeah this is what ive been doing :/ Just seems i have bad luck and just stupid :L

Mhm, if anything it makes me a better driver? Apparently not.
If you still need any advice. I posted about this yesterday;

Also take your time, don't feel pressured to answer the multiple choice questions too fast and get flustered.
Passing first time on both dropping only 2 marks total, I don't understand why people find the test to be difficult. If you're not passing it with ease then you really shouldn't be driving. That said, here's a little of on-topic help;
The one thing I used which really helped me out was the AA's theory test application for the ipod/iphone. You can get a free version which has quite a few questions on, but i'd personally spend the £2.50 or whatever they charge for the full version.
It contained every single question which I was asked on my multiple choice test, and also has practice for the hazzard too which was fantastic help.
I really would reccomend it, alot of my close friends who used it also passed first time.
I went over every question once (theres like 900 or something) then I made sure I got each one correct at least once, then I did a mock test 10 times. If you do this I'm sure you'll pass :) I passed mine on friday btw. Best of luck, I'm sure you'll do better this time :)
