Theory test

Postby jakerowles on Fri Sep 02, 2011 7:06 pm

Iv recently sent off for my provisional and should be taking my theory test in around a months time so I was wondering what is the best thing to practice it with and make sure I pass , I'm worrying about failing it :cry:

when i done mine (back in 97 though) i got the book and just kept reading it and getting my parents, friends, workmate etc to just ask me random questions from the book over and over.
the book was a bit thinner back then, and the test was on paper :lol: but just revise it over and over mate and get people to pick random questions to ask you

have you done the test yet?

i found it best to get the pc cd and revise, do mock tests, and then most have a test on there, do the test over and over untill you manage to pass it 3 times in a row, then you know your ready

mind i still failed first time, but passed second, aceing the question part both times, i just couldn't get on with the video clicks :P

sorry i didnt update , yeah i passed it :D 50/50 on the question part :P cant remember on the hazzard preception part but was quite a high mark , so all the revising paid off i got all the way down to the test centre 15 mins early and didnt have my paper counterpart so i had to get home find it and get back for 1 oclock the drive is normally 20mins so i was well lucky , after i passed it got home and had a leson at 3 oclock and ive had 6 now i think . ive learnt everything now and am starting to do mock tests my driving test is 1st december at 8:30 am :lol: now thats what i have to worry about my instructor has told me if i dont pass a mock test and then fail another one ill have to re book the test which will take another 6 weeks so im trying my hardest to listen to what im told and drive carefull , the multiple choice question part of the theory was really easy imo , and so was the hazzard preception the only bad thing was the videos were old so were really blurry but apart from that it all went good
