Make sure you go over the Hazard Perception lots as imo it was the hardest part

Hmm hazard perception is the only worry for me, any tips on this?

Don't click too much (pray and spray) but DO click when you see something which MIGHT be a hazard - lady with a pushchair, person on a bike, man in a white van etc.

Remember, you click AS you see something which COULD be a hazard (Let's them know you've got your eye on the ball) then you click again when it actually turns in to a hazard (Let's them know you've taken action and altered speed etc).

It's odd - I never felt confident with it, on my car and bike test, but both times i've scored very highly. I think it's because you get zero feedback until the end.

You'll be sound tho mate.

How can this be hard? See a hazard, click... just don't over do it, for example, if a leaf falls off a tree. Then you're being too observent

Yeah, i think ill be ok, everyone gets pre-test nerves so im just trying to reasure a bit

Did my theory yesterday, passed quite easily, the hazard perception test was the most nerve racking thing for me but as i got into it realized its not half as bad as its made out to be.
Although i did have 0 points for a clip as i clicked to many times, but still passed with 66.

You will be fine!!

Practise Practise Practise oh and a bit more practise. make sure you are passing it everytime so you are confident and know you're clicking at the right times. Same with the theory questions. Good luck.

Huzeeee is busy building his mini I think, got the cylinder head back from the machinists as he had to have new valve seats after the guide broke off his tool when he was machining the valve spring seats.

He passed today, so he's now looking forward to his test!
