I found a free app for my phone that was good.
Sure there are free tests online too.

Don't spend money on it since will only take about 1/2 hours u practice to be ready for test.

When I was looking for theory test practice material, the usual torrent type places only had stuff that was years out of date. I hate buying stuff that I can usually obtain free online but in order to practice up to date questions (including the latest CGI Hazard perception) I actually paid £3 for an app. Crying or Very sad
3 whole pounds, but it was excellent and had over 800 questions and I passed with ease so I do recommend getting an app if you have an Ipad or such device.

What I particularly found useful was the breakdown of the HPT and how the scores are graded for each hazard.

The one I used was called "Motorcycle Theory Test and Hazard Perception"

Highway code is there as well. With youtube and this Forum I don't really see the need to spend on anything.

Who ever came up with the low res video Hazard perception test needs to have a word with his boss as his boss should have sacked him/her. What a load of confusing bollocks.

The HPT is going to be a major obstacle for me, because after many years of driving / riding, I have stopped seeing the types of things in the video clips as hazards - they are just things that may or may not happen on a regular basis.

You don't ride along thinking "oooh, there's a potential hazard [click]...", you just keep an eye on, or react to whatever happens.

An experienced road user also makes allowances for the time of day, day of the week, weather conditions, traffic conditions, what type of vehicle you are driving, and what's behind you.

You don't know any of that for the HPT.
