Getting my ass in to gear!
 
ALright guys after my last attempt at my theory i failed by 1 point and that sort of put me off doing my theory again, but my teacher said i was ready for test but due to me failing my thoery that went all out the window. any tips and pointers would be great as im planning on getting my license ASAP! for the next AR!

Do you have the book and / dvd?

Which part did you fail? The questions or the hazard?

Did you know you can do practice tests online on the DSA website, some of the questions will be what you get on the real test and the hazard percetion helped me as i done my car test way before all this stuff came so wasnt familiar with it.

Like he said.

There is also a DSA book with every possible question you can get asked. Just read it. A lot. You will be fine.

Oh, and like mentioned, hazard perception DVD/CD ROMS available. Just check out Amazon or head to your local Waterstones or similar.

+1 on the DSA website, they are good and some of the practise video clips were even in my test.

Best advice I can give is when you click, count to 2 before clicking again. If you don't click when you see a hazard, you will lose the points, BUT...if you just sit and click too frequently, it will think you are trying to cheat and you will score a 0 for that clip. Happened to me on one of the clips, because I sae a hazard that was not recognised and so it thought I clikced when there wasn't one.

Most of all, relax. You get a fair few video clips in the test, so get online and get practising, you'll be fine.

Good luck :-)

It did this to me too, when I passed I lodged a complaint with them over it. The guys there were really pleased for the feedback as they didnt get too many from people who had passed and need those to give an unbiased opinion.

Good information already given above, the book is a must as the questions are identical.

Good luck.
