Theory test imminent

Kristoph · 3 Dec 2011 at 00:38

I know most of you passed years ago but I was wondering if there was anyone who'd passed recently? I've finally started lessons again and have my theory on Thursday.

I bought the DSA Theory test DVD for 2011 a few months back but I've just noticed it's only valid until September 2011.

The only DVDs/materials I can see to buy for September 2011 onwards say "The Official DSA Complete Theory Test Kit (valid until January 2012) by TSO" - so it makes me wonder if what I have available to learn from is enough for my test this week?

I've just run the official DSA mock test and got 43/50 on my first attempt and 44/50 on my second.

I'm learning from my mistakes and I'm finding the ones I'm guessing on are the ones I'm getting wrong.

I'll run through the mock tests several times and revise the braking distances and signs like you say.

I think my downfall will be the hazard perception.

I'm seeing the hazards but I clicked too early on a mock online test and didn't register any points for those...

Stupid. I'd rather point and click on the hazard.

I have no problems with the questions, it's the hazard perception I'm having problems with.

Can anyone else pass this?

I've tried three times and I have seen each and every hazard, and re-done it with the list of hazards. Still having issues.

The cyclist crossing the zebra crossing registers as 0 for me and I'm seeing him a mile off.

I really don't understand..

I've just done the AA mock hazard perception and scored 80% so it's renewed my confidence.

I'll update Thursday evening.

Passed

47/50 for the theory, 55/75 for the hazard perception. I thought I'd failed the questions, surprised to see I did better in that than the hazard perception...
