    Driving theory
    I've booked my theory test for 2 weeks time, I have done no preparation yet.

    Can anyone advise which books/cds are the best and which cover everything I will need to know to pass? any other tips etc

    Thanks

    Buy the 2012 theory test CD and go through the questions on each section or just do mock exams. There are about 900 questions so make sure you can answer all of them.

    Edit: There are some online material available if you didn't want to buy the CD

    What the above posted said, just do as many practice tests as you can. Once you are consistently passing the mock tests you should be totally fine for the real one! I did use the Highway Code for stopping distances but they must be on the internet somewhere, just in case they come up. Be sure to practice both the questions and the hazard perception.

    Good luck and don't worry about it, it's pretty easy if you spend some time learning it and don't panic on the day

    Get the official DSA app on your iphone/ ipod touch. It's great.

    I've got a good CD now and working through that

    Any tips for the hazard perception, what is the maximum you would suggest clicking (sometimes I click thinking something is a hazard but it isnt so have to reclick later on)? Any tips in general for the hazard perception, I definitely know it will be my downfall out of the two sections!
