i used a pc cd fow a few nights, then read the obivous bit i needed to in the highway code, twice, over the time of a week and a half at nights.

Using mock tests on pc cd's will see good results, that inclued the mock hadarz and perception test. Also read through the highway code book.

I passed my theory first time, one less mark i would have failed..

i used a cd to revise from it makes it so much easier as its all in the style of the actual test

i only looked at it properly for a few hours the night before and passed first time

try that pal its worked for me and a few of my mates

Cheers lads, first time i failed on the hazard perception so i practiced that now i fail on the questions :(

Pisstake?!

so next time you will fail both, bad times

nah just put in the hours and you will be fine dude.

I better pass , my polo is crying out to be driven

People learn things one of 3 different ways

Visually

Audibly

Practically

Few people are exclusively one of these, but work out where your bias is (I'm visual/practical split). If you google "learning styles" you'll find a few tests you can do to help identify which you are.

If you're a visual learner, watch videos study diagrams, write notes and draw pictures to explain stuff to yourself.

If you've got an auditory bias, training videos can also work well, as can getting together with someone who's also doing thair theory, read passages of the book out and talk about the whys and wherefore of how stuff works. Or just learn by rote.

If you're a practical learner, don't overdo the book time, but it's still valuable. Make yourself some cue cards with key points of each topic on them. Each card has 5-8 points on one side and a heading on the other. Pull a card for example "Crossings" and see what you can remember from the other side for example "Zebra, orange beacons, no traffic lights, pedestrian right of way all the time" "Pelican, traffic lights, pedestrian pushes button"... etc

I passed first time, for one reason - some people have the ability to pass a test in anything without actually understanding it (I can do this, no idea how). In event of emergency, get the book they publish with all the questions and answers in, and memorise it.

I also find there's some things in life that I can't see the point in, so I'll never be able to learn. With me, it's stopping distances, just say them out load 20 times a day for a week before you do the test, eg:

"20 miles, 6 metres, 6 metres - 30 miles, 9 metres, 16 metres - 40 miles, 12 metres, 24 metres" if it comes to it, sit outside the test doing that to yourself, get in and write it down as fast as you can before you start the test.

I'll admit, I still forgot them, and just rolled lucky and got a test with no stopping distance questions on, but the worst that'll happen is you'll only get a few q's on them, so as long as you can do everything else, have a guess and you should still be alright.

I passed first time. I only used the practice CD to revise with.

Get together with a mate / sibling / parent etc and get them to test you on some questions.

I passed 3rd time. Flick through highway code on your way there, basic shit like signs and cats eyes, mspsl and that. for hazard, click like a bitch!

CD on PC was what i did,

Just doo mock test :)

Used a CD thing.

Its the only test I've ever revised for! ahah

See i used a CD like most and i have read the highway code like 3 times, maybe I'm just unlucky?

i didnt revise but passed 1st time

I used a CD and read the code and passed first time. I didn't put too much effort in though as it's mostly common sense. The only thing I actively concentrated on learning was the stopping distances as that's all that wasn't mainly common sense.

I think i just get distraced but 3rd time lucky ey?

Btw I've noticed theres alot of polo's in the hazard clips

I think if you fail your theory you shouldnt be on the road haha

Got to agree with alot of them - i used the CD and it worked wonders! Though having a great instructor helped aswell.

Passed both theory and practical first time only got 3 minors on my practical - mainly mirrors

passed first time with about 15 mins lookin at stuff like stoppin distances, its like the easiest test ever!

I think i just get distraced but 3rd time lucky ey?

Btw I've noticed theres alot of polo's in the hazard clips

if you noticing stuff like that probs why u failed mate :)

Whats a Theory Test...never had them when i passed my test.

I think if you fail your theory you shouldnt be on the road haha

It's all a bit subjective, it's easy if you're the academic sort. Doesn't neccessarily prove you a good driver, just that you can memorise facts and click a mouse. My dad's one of the few people I truely feel safe in a car with 100% of the time, but I know for a fact that he wouldn't stand a chance in a modern theory test.

i glanced at it every now and then got in the test guessed a load and passed :/

Got a CD for my computer, just did mock tests really and passed first time.

I revised so much more for this than I ever have for an exam at school though lol.

F**k u all :(, i do actually try and i am ready for the practical so my instructor says, i just cant do the theory for some reason.

Most of my mates took 3 goes to pass it mind.
