Car Theory Test

[vaughanmc]

I'll be sitting my Car Theory Test soon

The Hazard Perception bit I think is quite easy but the Multiple Choice I think is quite hard

I must be thinking too much about it...lol

Anyone got any hints or tips about how to get me through it

I've been doing practise tests on the internet thanks to Adam (Cooltiger) and I got a disc off my mate with all the stuff

Cheers folks :thumb:

[Joe Richardson]

I thought you were already driving,how old are you:confused:

[NathanSRi]

Seriously, theres nothing to worry about, i found it a piece of p**s, just make sure you revise

[Stanley]

As long as your not retarded, you should be fine!

[vaughanmc]

I thought you were already driving,how old are you:confused:

16 atm mate, 17 in about 2 weeks time :)

I'll just need to stick at the revising etc

[Joe Richardson]

16 atm mate, 17 in about 2 weeks time :)

ah right:thumb:

you will be fine mate,i passed mine last month,just revise:D

[vaughanmc]

I'll keep at the disc that my mate gave me - Everyone says the multiple choice is easy and hazard perception is hard but I find its the other way about...

[tom reid]

I was worried about the theory test as well, I made myself study for an hour every evening for two weeks before the test, result was 100%, it wasn't to bad in reality,as I knew every answer before I went in, I just don't like tests.

[vaughanmc]

I'll be doing a test every night or maybe 2 up until the proper date! I've been doing that so far

Just need to get the finger out and by the actual book thing to brush up on road signs and braking distances etc :)

[Rob]

Just keep revising etc mate,i must admit it seems a lot harder now from when i did mine with the hazard perception test and all that now but good luck and all being well you,ll be driving to pv this year and giving your dad a break lol :thumb:

[Joe Richardson]

Have you booked it yet mate:thumb:

[NovaLad]

I actually found the theory behind it well easy compared to the hazard thing...
Most of it is just common sence TBH.

[Benn]

Get the test book, then go thru and highlight the answers.

Then read it and you just read the answer, you'll remember it all that way.

Huge cheat but..

[Spudly]

Its all just common sense bud but i found reading through my test book (yes book not disc lol) on the morning and looking up the ones i had no idea of and the answers to them on the morning before i went for my test, helped as about ten came up, bonus...


I can has 35/35 = 100%:thumb:

[vaughanmc]

I will need to buy a book as well then! :)

The theory test is booked, yes :thumb:

I don't think I'll be driving to PVS but I'll can drive some of the way with the L plates on...

[Spudly]

Even if you dont pass your practical by then, as you say you can share driving there:thumb:


Dont worry though bud youre a clever lad and i cant see ya having any probs!

[staggy_gsi]

i got my lass through hers a couple of months ago. nearly every night we sat at the computer and she worked through the disc and i also made her go through a highway code book with questions in. it was road signs that kept catching her out so i just kept going over them with her.

[vaughanmc]

Aye it's the road signs, braking distances and 'what to do with injured people' that catches me out

Cheers Spudly, I'll just crack on with it - I can drive about an hour from my house to the motorway and from the motorway to Santa Pod

I'll be really cool driving in with my L plates on lol :thumb:

[Spudly]

I'll be really cool driving in with my L plates on lol :thumb:



Who cares man, my first driving mission was in my dads car with L's on and it was to tesco:roll:


Your first mission will be into santa pod for PVS in your own nova = Win imo:thumb:

[vaughanmc]

Your first mission will be into santa pod for PVS in your own nova = Win imo:thumb:

I'll have been driving it before that, but it would definately be something to remember :D

[Spudly]

Yeah but still one of your first jollies out before you even get your full licence will be to pod, thats cool in my book dude:thumb:

And im gonna make a point of actually meeting you this year as ive missed ya the last two lol

[vaughanmc]

[vaughanmc]

lol I'll need to speak slowly and you'll need to stand there and not make me look like a t*t if I pronounce things...oddly

We'll sort something out lol

[Spudly]

Text message FTW then lol


Dont worry though bud ill probs be pished and mumbling incoherrently anyways haha:thumb:

[vaughanmc]

lol Brilliant - Should be realllllly good this year

I'm well looking forward to it as I know what to expect from last year

[muzzy]

I found it very easy but make sure you dont get carried away in the hazard perception!

[vaughanmc]

Nah I took my time with the practise one and only dropped a couple of marks! It made it clear at the start basically that 'clicking frantically, gets you no where' lol

[Nova_Sean]

Good luck with it mate.

I only practised the questios as my hazard bit didn't work...

The hazards are pretty much common sence i thought...

Got 50/50 and 63/75

[vaughanmc]

I'm getting 40/41 out of 50 and about 65/75...

[kelbelle]

Like most people said just get the book that has every possible question in it and learn them. Most of the questions are the same just rephrased and most questions have the same answers in a different order. The only thing you really need to learn is braking distance, following distance (and difference depending on the weather) and speed limits etc.

I got 50/50 on theory and something like 55-75 on hazard perception

[Joe Richardson]

I got 46 out of 50 on the questions

and 62 out of 75 on the hazard part:thumb:

[vaughanmc]

I'll need to get a book! That's my personal challenge, but I'll likely send my mum or dad for it lol

[kelbelle]

Go on ebay for one, after I did my test i sold mine on ebay for like 2.50 so should pick one up cheap but make sure its the right one

[vaughanmc]

Anyone point me in the right direction of one - Since it's me and I'm loved (I think) you can post eBay links in this thread just to help me out :thumb: :D

[muzzy]

Nah I took my time with the practise one and only dropped a couple of marks! It made it clear at the start basically that 'clicking frantically, gets you no where' lol

Yup thats pretty much what i was getting at lol

I never did any revision and had a hang over when i sat mine, although i wouldnt advise you to go down that route :wtf:

[vaughanmc]

Nope! I don't drink anyway so I'm clear of that one lol

[Pistol Pete]

Why use the book. Do the online tests, get the CD rom.

http://www.driving-test-success.com/hazard/hazard_perception_main.html

[vaughanmc]

Been doing online tests and I have a disc...

But a book would make me concentrate more I reckon

[Pistol Pete]

Ah, fair enough.

[vaughanmc]

Cheers anyway fella :thumb:

[Asa-James]

common sense, common sense, common sense.

and practice with the tests, best of luck for when it comes up bud

[vaughanmc]

Cheers mate! :thumb:

Got plenty of time to pratice yet anyway

[dougie_boi]

get to know the highway code inside and out and your braking distances and a bit of common sence mate and you will be fine bud :thumb:

[MattBrown]

See the mk1 nova in clip 1 on that website?

It looked cleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaan:)

[Jack]

Theory test is p!ss easy IMO - as said its just common sense. I passed mine (one of the last paper ones) with zero revision and just a few mock run throughs to get an idea of the test questions.

Hazard perception is a bit ghay though, I did that once on a practice CD one of my ex's had (fcuk knows why she had a CD, divine intervention would have been more use to help her pass). Failed it the first time because I clicked as soon as I saw a hazard, which is obviously the wrong thing to do :roll:

[Cormac]

If you need a lend of the Hazard Perception CD let me know, I could send it over to ya!!

[vaughanmc]

Cheers Cormac :thumb: I have one down the stairs like but every little helps :)

[vaughanmc]

Not be long until the theory test :)

Been doing practise tests online/CD's, reading the highway code etc

It's kinda starting to make sense

I just need to pass it now!

The nerves are building lol

[muzzy]

I would worry about it dude, its very easy. Once you pass its a good feeling because its one hurdle out of the way before you can drive.

[stupot89]

good luck mate

[vaughanmc]

I would worry about it dude, its very easy. Once you pass its a good feeling because its one hurdle out of the way before you can drive.

You WOULD worry ?

I've been passing the practise ones, its the questions I find quite hard lol

Some say there easy! There far from it lol

[Pistol Pete]

You'll be fine. Good luck.

[vaughanmc]

Cheers fella :thumb:

[wwmnw]

I did the new one and its that easy i passed it when i was still pissed, But i don't recomend a few drinks to calm your nerves. Passed both first time actually, Was sober for my practical though.

[JordyzNova]

i have got mine again 2 moz after i failed last time missed the hazard perception by 2 point fukin guted :cry: hope i will pass 2moz :D

[large_steve182]

what i dont get is what they class as a high gear and what is a low gear.
one question was about changing gear to help control speed down a hill which you would choose what i would call a higher gear such as 4th or 5th.

and then another question came up about driving up a hill in which you would choose a lower gear such as 1st 2nd 3rd

but im not entirely sure on which is low and which is high?
help?

[vaughanmc]

Sat it today...and Failed!

Cruised the Questions : 48/50 but missed the Hazard Perception by 1 mark!

One f*cking mark lol

Gutted! But I now know what to prepare more for the next time

Hopefully have it done and dusted soon though :)

[dougie_boi]

keep your head in the books mate. you will do it next bud :thumb:

[vaughanmc]

Don't worry mate, I will! A wee bit gutted but worse could happen

[dougie_boi]

a failed mine the fist time and missed by 1 point as well lol just need to keep studying mate yeah its a bitt gutting specialy at the price lol

[muzzy]

At least you were close, although that usually makes it even more annoying that you fail. Just get it re-booked asap.

[vaughanmc]

Will do lads :) Cheers for the support

Definately something I'm not giving up on

[novaguy08]

hazard preception is a bitch....... why they think that a computer screen is going to test that i dont know......... tbh to make you jelous i didnt revise, passed 2/3 tests! (failed, passed, run out, passed!)

[MK999]

I passed, then it ran out, then when it came up again I didn't even think about revising, got 47-48 out of 50 I think 35/35 on the first one back when it was shorter lol

[Novaboi_1991]

jus to make you feel better bro, i had mine on the 12th,

got 46 on the theory an 40 on the hazard perception, so, wa 4 out, lol

keep trying, im sure we'll both pass soon anuff

[Joe Richardson]

unlucky mate,you will get it next time round:thumb:

I failed my first one,because i didn't revise enough i couldn't be arsed lol

got it the second time though:thumb:

[JordyzNova]

i passed mine last thursday :D

[John]

Wtf is a car theory test! lol lol

[novaguy08]

John, have you not got your driving licence?

[John]

Yes :)

[novaguy08]

[John]

oh so your old enough to have got it without doing the theory then lmao

;)

[vaughanmc]

Re-booked...but I won't be driving without L's to PVS
