Theory Test Changes from 1st Sept

[map]

May have already been posted and probably relevant to new bikers but...


From 1st Sept 07 the theory test marking system changes.
Current pass mark is 30 out of 35.
From Sept 1st it'll be 44 out of 50.

So, if you haven't already, get the theory test booked quick.

I'm trying to! But is it as simple as take test on 31st August will mean out of 35 questions and take test on 1st September will be out of 50 questions?
Or does it depend on when you actually book your test? I.E Book now for 1st September would be 35 quesitons or 50 questions?

I don't see the big deal to be honest. I didn't only revise enough to only get 30 right; I practised until I could consistently get any question I was asked correct. Bumping it up to 50 shouldn't have much of an effect.

[Feasty]

Only price-wise and time-wise - I'm having to take time out of work to do this, and the cheaper I get it the more I have to spend on the next bike!

is this change for cars too ? - I have been putting off learning to drive for years now. Also am I right in thinking that you must do practical within 2 years of theory ?

But that lowers the pass mark, although raises the questions... (no shit, sherlock!) That'll be all, Oh, and I passed both mine ages(less than 1 year) ago.
