Got my theory test booked for the end of March a moment ago.

Just wondering if anyone can give me advice or tips on it - preferably those who've taken it recently.

I've just bought a Roadsense DVD for my hazard perception and I've got a highway code and theory test questions book.

Any other methods of revising and practising to make sure I do good?

Thanks in advance.

Heh I just read my book thing:

Click when you see potential hazard, then again when it becomes a full-on hazard type thing.

Damn naevity.

Woah woah woah woah WOAH.

No!

Thinking like this will make you fail, automatically.

Click whenever you see something that might make the driver change direction, click.

Don't mash the mouse because you will just get a fail, but click whenever you see a developing hazard/hazard.

I'm pretty sure you can click a few times.. As long as you're not clicking constantly, it's ok, but gerrid's method good.

Don't be fooled into thinking the Hazard Perception is really easy and you don't need to practise. Use your DVD. It's easy but all you need is technique, which comes with practise.

Some of them are stupid though, like to get full marks on one you have to click as soon as a man steps out of his house, before he walks into the road and gets in his car and drives it off. Ridiculous. My technique, which got me almost full marks, was, when you see a hazard
click it as soon as you see it, then click it a second or so later, just to make sure, because sometimes you can click TOO early and it doesnt count.

I borrowed them off a mate.

But yeah, you should be fine, it's easy.

I got 34/35 on the theory and 52/75 on the hazard.

I been doing lessons since Dec without having done my theory dudette, it's fine.

You just need theory before practical test, thats all.

Okee doke. Gotta book mine soon. Can't remember, but do you know if it's OK to take your lessons without taking the theory?
