Best Way to Revise for Theory test?

[Az]

My theories on the 6th (4 days) and i wanted your opinions on the best way to revise for it?

Thanks in advance, Az

[bren_9311]

I personally retain information quite well. So I just downloaded a theory Test app on my phone and spent hours a day doing mock tests.

When it came to my test over half the questions on the app appeared on the actual test.. I almost burst out laughing while doing it.

I finished the test part in 9 minutes.

Goodluck

does the apple app also cover hazard perception?
The theory doesn't bother me too much, it's the hazard perception i always fail on mocks

[bren_9311]

They is another app for hazard perception. Just do a search for it. It's not as bad as people say either.

If you get the PC program it's exactly the same questions and layout used in the real test. Hazard perception are the same video clips too.
The DVD is about £5-£10 and they sell them everywhere, or you could torrent one but the torrents tend to be older versions and I'm not sure how much they change the questions over time.

I would recommend that you find some way of practising the hazard perception. It's a game and you'll benefit from learning the rather curious rules.

If you don't get a chance to do so, then be aware that you're only expected to notice the hazard when you'd have to take action to avoid it. If you click once at the point where you should take action, NIL POINT. So spot it, click, pause, click, pause, click.

One of the clips has two scorable hazards and you won't know which it is, so stay focussed to the end of all the clips.

It's not hard, don't stress over it..

There are some hazard perception tests on the internet you can practice if you can't get a dvd to work on your computer. I think the AA have one you can practice on there website? Also I downloaded an app like others.

Good luck it's easy.

Best way to learn is to do nothing but use common sense...its piss easy. Its multiple choice and to be honest the correct answer on 90% of the questions is blindingly obvious, even if youve never ridden on a road or seen a highway code.

Its questions like:

You are approaching a zebra crossing and 2 old people are looking to cross do you...

A) Accelerate to 90mph to get past the crossing before they cross
B) Slam your brakes on hard and skid to the crossing to get their attention
C) Stop and let them cross
D) Run the bastards over (after shouting abuse at them for getting in your way)

Most questions are that easy....the hazard perception is a 'potential' ballache but even that is piss easy as long you have a modicum of common sense.

I really wouldnt worry too much about it.....I doubt there's many people that fail it...maybe 5% or less?

Take a look at the practice tests on the DSA website (think there are 2), for both my bike & car theory they had some of the same questions in the actual test. For HP the AA site has practice tests, as does the get on website, but I think you need an account to get your results. Only thing you really need to memorise are stopping distances, and also take a look at the wanky hand signals no one in the real world uses.

Most of the questions are common sense, for example:

You see a motorcyclist lying in the road, do you...
a) have sex with there lifeless corspe
b) run over them to make sure they're dead
c) call an ambulance
d) set them on fire to prevent the spread of disease

It's d) obviously.

From what I remember of the free apps is they usually have a smaller pool of questions compared to the paid versions.

I used: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1843265710/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1


It has a neat progress tracker and a loads of mock papers for both hazard and theory parts. It may be a bit overkill but I liked it and I passed my theory first time with it.

Thanks for all the helpful advice and funny examples lol, been practising some theory and hazard perception tests online and doing alright now.
Just need to get used to clicking hazards earlier, as i never seem to score more than 4 on each clip on the hazard perceptions.

And for anyone reading this thread who's doing their theory, if you want a DVD that covers theory tests, hazard perception and practical lessons (for both cars and motorbikes) then tell me & you can have it for free

I think you need a windows computer to work it though.

And I've downloaded the recommended App and it's been great
