Theory Test

[Milky]

Hi guys, anyone done the theorytest recently?.. I'm doing mine in a couple weeks. I refused to pay 16 quid for the rip-off of a CD the DSA tried to sell me. Anyone got anything useful to tel me? To be honest I'm shttin it abit coz i've booked my A2 a couple weeks after the theory...so I HAVE to pass it! haha So..any good tips etc? Thanks

i think u can do some mock tests on the dvla website


i didnt have to do one cos when i did my test they didn't have computers, pens, paper etc.

yep dvla website have some smaple tests,but surely its better to buy a dvd,learn what you need to learn and then pass your theory test and move onto the a2 test without worry ??

After I booked mine they sent me a letter confirming that I had booked it, and they sent with that a cd with the questions and mock exams on.
If you don't get one, I've got a cd bit out of date, 2002 I think, but the questions were all the same for me when I did it at the start of the year. I can lend it to you but my sis needs it back for her car test.

I bought one of those dvd's with all the theory Q's and loadsa hazard clips for pennies at a carboot sale and it was a great learning aid.

Mind you,i think the questions might have changed recently, cos you have to do 50 instead of 35 now....dunno

Or...get one of those books thats got every single question and go through it until you get em all right everytime.

Good luck

nice one guys i'le avva look on the website an try do a few mock tests etc. i did get a cd off ebay... thought i'd got myself i right bargain till i realised it was for 2007! haha still the same sorta stuff i suppose.. the hazard perseption shouldn' t be too bad but on the multiple choice you can only get 43 out of 50 otherwise ur screwed!
Gott'a 3 hour drive to Silvestone firday so i'l get hold ov one of those books with all the questiond that was mentioned

[steve-d]

There the same questions, just more of them.
I used a 2002 cd for a 2008 test just fine.

I bought the £5 or £10 option on the website which gives you unlimited access to the test data base for 60 days.

Basically you can sit unlimited tests as many times as you want, did loads myself and passed with no wrong answers, it's better than the DVD but that does gives access to the hazard perception part which was really hard to find anything on.

Best bet is to borrow one, can you hire it from the library?

What he said, my boy paid his fiver and sat loads of tests scoring 47/48 out of 50 everytime, got his confidence right up until he walked in the room then the nerves got to him an he failed his first one but got it the second time
