They do ask the same pool of questions, but some of them may be slightly updated with different wording/pictures. Mine were pretty much the same as the CDrom i had!

same here, I did cds to and a lot of questions I did on the cd but its all common sense really, just make sure you remember the stopping distances.

Cheers guys.
Stopping distances are pretty much the only thing I ever need to think about because as you say its all common sense.
I'll be committing them to memory before the weekend.

Also, in my test i didnt get asked one question regarding stopping distance

TommoUK · 17 May 2006 at 22:23

I got 35 on the multiple choice and 52 on hazard perception.

Test this saturday :eek:

Fingers crossed for a similar experience then

I got my practical tomorrow :eek:

I'm actually looking forward to it because I know I have the ability to pass it, I just hope I don't forget something silly like checking mirrors.

Good luck mate! Eat loads of bannanas before you go and stay calm like its any other lesson.

I got mine on the 30th next month

Thanks gam3r, i'll post later with how I got on.

edit: I just got back and I failed

. It was only the reverse parking that done it for me, I clipped the kerb as I was straightening up. Only 6 minors too. It was a really good drive, but it was just that stupid manouever.

Rich1988 · 19 May 2006 at 15:55

bad luck. next time

fenderbass86 · 19 May 2006 at 16:13

Cheers mate, I was well and truely gutted, damn those kerbs.

you hit a kerb

?

fenderbass86 · 19 May 2006 at 19:48

Whilst reverse parking I clipped the kerb as I was straightening the car up, I just straightened up too late. :rolleyes:

Sone · 19 May 2006 at 19:54

i thought clipping a curb was okay, just a minor?

Unlucky mate, get the restest booked ASAP, should sail through nextime!

fenderbass86 · 19 May 2006 at 20:33

Yeah I wish it was counted as a minor, but they try to turn it against you as though there could have been a pedestrian there. It's a bit out of order cause I think I would have noticed a person, you can't see the kerb.

thats so ******* stupid, a friend of mine did so poorly mounted the kerb didnt look in mirrors ANYWHERE near enough, and she passed :mad:

its not right they do not judge it purely on ability because if they did she shoud have failed.

TommoUK · 20 May 2006 at 11:57

Just failed my practical

I think in the end the nerves got to me, I made a mistake in my first maneuvre (reverse park) and knew I'd failed a few minutes in.

Better luck next time, eh?

gam3r · 20 May 2006 at 12:07

Sometimes i really wonder how my sister managed to pass first time.. :eek:

InsomniaCalls · 20 May 2006 at 14:17

I passed my theory this morning :cool:

35 on the multiple choice and 58 on the HP.
Would have liked a bit higher on HP but a pass is a pass

I wasn't nervous on mine cause I knew I was ready to take it and I was just enjoying the drive, I was nervous on my mock test but totally confident for my real test. What happens if you're miles away from the kerb, can that be a serious error?

Well done on the theory, ain't it easy?! I got 35/35 on the questions too! but 68 on HP (not bragging or anything)!
