The hazard perception part on the theory test

[Lord_Kokain]

Well, yesterday I happened to fail my theory test for the second time in exactly the same manner where the first part was quickly done(even when they are now 50 questions from September) and miss the hazard perception part by a few marks.

Now for the latter, Im not going for a rant since I know its purpose and I agree it should be there, but it bugs me because I have been mock-practising it at home for more than a month, three times a day and at some point I simply always passed it. Yet when it came to the actual tests, I did this part twice and failed it twice so my question is:

Are the hazard perception tests from the mock and the actual test different? I mean of course they would have different clips but in the sense of, for instance, the first being done to allow more time to click on a hazard or something. Its just that when I failed it the first time, I said to myself that its to do with the lack of much driving experience or being nervous(or both...) but doing so for second time seems as no coincidence to me.

I agree that it would have made much more sense if we had to point out the hazards, otherwise there is always this uncertainty whether you havent simply clicked too early(i.e. whether the software sees it as a hazard) since lots of hazards are seen way before 5 seconds time and sometimes the program sees it as 0 points for clicking too early.

But that's how I passed it and coached the gf to pass first time I'll explain in case you didn't know, apologies in advance if I'm just saying what you already know But this is what I learnt/figured (click the link):

Thanks for the link!

I was wondering though...imagine there is the situation of seeing a hazard on the road from far away and you click, say, on the 5th second before reaching it but since you are unsure whether its not clicked too early, you click again 2 seconds later(i.e. 3 seconds before the hazard=3 points). Would it then count the first click for 5 points or disallow it and count the second for 3? That bothered me every time but I never got to find out for sure.
