Theory test prep.

[LorryDriver71]

How much of the highway code did people who have past read and which sections in particular?

What else did you study and how long did you spend in total revising?

Cheers, Tom.

I read the whole thing, didn't learn the stuff like exact braking distances at set speeds but most of it is useful stuff to know as it's signs and situations you'll encounter out on the roads.

Okay thanks. So do you think if I just read the highway code all the way through that would be enough?

Could be but I doubt it. Best thing is to do lots of practise theory tests, get one of the CD things. It will also have practise hazard awareness tests which will also be useful.

I just did the two online ones on the dsa site, I got 35 on the 1st one and 33 on the second one .

Although I heard that the real one is harder.

Come to think of it I don't know why I'm even thinking about it seeing as its AS results tomorrow.

Nothing wrong with that as no amount of thinking will change your results so much better use of time to be doing something productive.

I've never even opened the highway code. I just done the mock tests on the cd over and over till I had the questions and answers in my head. When it comes to the real test, the questions are the same. Word for word.

The questions on the practise test on the DSA web site is the same sort of questions you will get in your actual theory, the parts that gets most people is the hazard perception part.

The best way to learn is to read the high way code, and do some practise exams on CD software, also watch the disc you will get through from the DSA when you book your test.

I read through the whole off high way code, also done loads of practise exams on 'driving test success' which uses the official questions and after doing quite a few the same questions pop up, also the programme monitors your progress and helps you to decide wether you're ready for the test, also the hazard perception practice exams on 'driving test success' is very good and gets you ready for the real thing. On the actual theory all the questions i recognized (from the practice question on the CD software) and got all correct, also the hazard perception was easy.

I will burn you a copy off 'driving test success' (2 CD's) for a couple of quid if you want to cover the cost of the CD's, postage and time it takes me to dig the CD's out .

Good luck .

I did the car one the other week, and I'm booked for the bike on the 2nd september. I got 33 on the first part and 73/75 for the hazard perception. Apparently I should be a good driver, yea right, I'm just aware because of the bike, at least I like to think so. I just went over all of the questions once or twice and then did some practice ones.

Highway code, meh, buy the official CD rom thing that has the hazard perception as well. Best way of doing it in my opinion, just reading the highway code wont help much as you will probably not take any of it in.
