The Revised Theory Test

[Beez]

With effect from today the Government has increased the difficulty of the theory test and is no longer publishing the questions used to stop people "memorising":

I find this out after revising all last week for my theory which is on friday.

Awesome news, just in time for mine on the 4th Feb

Although there's no excuse for me not passing as I'm meant to be an advanced motorist and observer for the IAM

[Rogerborg]

You'll be fine, it'll just be the same questions with slightly different wording.

Hopefully they won't ask you about the environmental benefits of trams.

i had the option to try out 5 of the new questions when i did my theory, thought it couldnt hurt to see what all the fuss was about and they were really easy. I mean REALLY easy.

When I did my theory I got a copy of the Highway Code (first time I'd ever read it TBH !) along with a DVD and kept reading it and doing the practice tests for 2 weeks solid - 4 or 5 tests a night !

Can't believe I actually got one question wrong !

The hazard perception tests weren't too bad either - and I got kicked out of one for clicking too often but still passed !

Have a go at the new theory exam here:

(looks pretty much the same as the 'old' one tbh)

I feel sorry for my mate
He has his Theory Car & bike As well as the Hazard perception.

So basically he has to take both test's twice. i told him to take the test a day apart so he will be on one & will buzz straight through.

but unlucky all the same lol

[von1papen]

99% is common sense and the answers are rather obvious, its the hazard perception that is more of a cunt sometimes!

here's a database of the new theory questions.

Well I passed it, just on the train back.

I'd say 90% of the questions were already published ones (I'd revised) so I don't even think its gone into effect get...

To be honest, it's not the questions that need changing, it's the hazard perception.

I passed my (Car) theory first time back in 2006, and I am a damn site better at reading the road and anticipating hazards now than I was then, yet I am borrowing a mates official DSA hazard perception dvd in preparation for my bike theory, and I'm getting 1 or 2/5 on most of the questions, and often getting 0.

I duno if that's just cos the DVD is dodgy, or if I'm clicking at the wrong time to get the points, but I know for sure if am better and safer on the road now than when I passed it as a learner driver.


I'd sooner see a shortened (and cheaper) test for those who already hold a full licence of some sort though, where you only have the MCQs for the relevant vehicle category, not having to do exactly the same hazard perception again, waste of time.

I clicked on every hazard - you gain no extra marks, but as long as you don't click too many times theres no harm.

Here's the page I read that finally made it clear for me, take a look if your still struggling:
