theroy test

[gazieb]

just been reading about the meets in the north east and i want to b part of them so has any got any hints or tips for getttin through that (Editting for swearing, please dont do it as my little sister comes on here and i dont want her to see stuff like this- Mike) theroy every one says to me its commen sense well i must b ttly dense because i cant do it i cant take it in when reading the high way code and i get bored on about the 15th question on the practice disk :down:

i need to get through my test

hi. dont listen to the people who say its common sense... yes to some people it might come easily... but others it dont, i know lots of people who didnt quite get a grasp of it at first.
for the questions id say buy the book with all the questions in and just go through them 1 by one and get a grasp of them individually, you dont need to memorise them just grasp why the answer is what it is so if it comes up in test u understand it, this mite take a little longer to do but its worth it in the long run.

the CD rom is very usefull but definitly read through the book, it only becomes common sence after youve read through it! Sometimes the CD rom questions do be the same, you need to read through the book because the actual test is more varied.
You'll be grand im sure, just eliminate the wrong answers and leave no blanks!

Sound advice there.

Having said that, the only revision I did for it was reading my highway code book on the bus on the way to the test. :wasntme: Just got to do the 'other' bit now.

I used the CD Rom and did hours and hours of practice. When it came to the test, i only got one wrong. The layout of the CD to the exam computer was exactly the same, even used the same pictures, wording etc etc!! Highly recommended. Would also advise in reading the questions fully and carefully, as sometimes you can get the same question twice, but worded a different way.

Have you got your test booked?

I just read the book during free time at college. It wasnt exciting at all. Zzzzzz passed with 100% though

yeah go for the cd rom and do 'mock' tests. time yourself to see how long it takes you, then work out how much time you should spend on each type of question.

then in the real thing you know which ones to whizz through and which questions you can spend time on.

the theory bit is ok with practise. you can buy the CD rom from asda for like a fiver and i found this more useful than the one i was sent. you can also do mock tests online on the AA website.
the hazard perception is a bit more difficult, but only because it isnt explained very well. the main part is to remember to reclick when the hazard gets worse. but not overclick because it will just void your score.
practise makes perfect!
best of luck

I had 3 pretty much exactly the same!

Hey

So long as you have a fairly good understanding of road situations signs and road markings you will be fine a high percentage of questions are common sense, i read one book a few times just to get an idea of the hazard perception, also go out in a mates car with him driving and get him to test you , with questions like whats coming up on the left and you say bus stop junction oncoming traffic, this will help raise your awarness, i thoughgt id failed when i walked out but passed,

COMMON SENSE IS THE KEY

Mike

Good Luck

it shouldnt matter if you get bored practicing on the CD, if your passionate to drive then you will just get on with it, im only saying this because the CD is very useful IMO, I only got 34/35 on my test lol

 

[kev_mono72]

i got 38/40 here, i gone one wrong about how to get off a motorbike (who cares!!) and another was some question on emissions (again, who cares!)

 

[tom]

a few friends bought the cd and books and found the,m very helpful, i on the other hand bought them and never looked at them and passed first time
neways gd luck

What ever you do dont spin on the really nice leather chairs in the test room as this really annoys them. I got told off after about 10 minutes of mucking around.

Its easy so dont worry, i revised with a CD i bough the day before the exam.

[lsi_dean]

i didnt have leather swivel chairs

Does the DVLA still have mock theory tests on their website? Been over 5 years since I last did mine so the website may have changed now. :upside:
