meh guess i left it a little too late lol >.<.... went to book for a theory test thinkin its a good time to book it as quite a few days off sept 3rd...only to find all booked up :frown: so had to go for 5th of sept.
Anyone got any info of how the questions will be after the 3rd of sept? i know its got 50 Q's but will it be similar to how the Q's are asked now? or will they change the question styles entirely to bring about a fresh challenge.

many thnx in advance :P

The new highway code will have any extra stuff in. I think they are asking more questions about cars and the environment (well that's what I've heard anyway but I could be wrong). You should keep checking the internet for cancellations though just in case!
A couple of wee questions that I haven't spotted answers to eleswhere:
Are the hazard perception clips full-screen, or about 7 inches wide like on my practice dvd? Also, can you finish the multiple choice part early if you're happy with it?
I've got my Theory on Thursday afternoon, yaaaay...

Hi.

Ive started my driving again and want to sort my theory out. BTW, is this new theory test DEFINIELY going to come into play in September and if so any idea of a date?

Im so annoyed as I feel I shoulda done this ages ago, gna regret it now. Ive got the official theory test book, and a DVD. But it just seems a huge hill ATM, ya know in the book, what are the important areas 2 revise?

Tried booking online and earliest one around 12th September, or the 13th which is on my birthday, so, BTW, if by ringing up, will there be a chance of cancellation? My mate said to book online then go back to see if there's any cancellations, can ya do that?

Sorry for lots of q's but worried!

Thanks!

September 3rd is the date when it changes. Just read the Highway Code that's what I'm doing and do loads of practice tests. Book online and check regularly for cancellations there's a cancel/change button in the website.

The hazard perception clips were full screen. And yes, you can end the multiple choice questions at any time. I completed the MC questions in about 10 minutes as opposed to the 30something minutes they give you.

Argh! Ive booked my test for the 4th of September, whats the pass rate for the new test? 43 out of 50? And is the hazard perception the same?

How do I go about changing it possibly online if I find a cancellation? Will there be any charge for it?

Doing revision ATM, my sister in law said she mainly read the Highway Code and passed, Im reading the theory book and the HC. Browsed through the DVD and got 43/75 for hazard perception but thats because I missed the first 2-3 q's so Id a passed.

It is 43/15 and I think hazard perception is the same but I'm not sure. Go to the dsa website and there will be a change/cancel button you can use if you find a cancellation I don't think there's a charge.

:smile: Thanks. It went well, but it was good to have those things confirmed before going in. I got a Hazard Perception clip with sheep and a wee lamb, so I was all happy about getting to see cute animals :p:
[Just to clarify that sentence... I got 13 other HP clips as well, but the sheep one was the best.]

Did you pass??
Yeah :biggrin: After the sheep bit, I started to enjoy it a bit more. The nice thing was, I was still pretty jumpy/excited, which reduced my reaction times a bit, I think. The multiple choice was fine as well.


:sheep: lol, another obsession commences.
OMG my theory test is in a week and i havent even revised. I don't have time to either because I work all day. :frown:

Ive got the book of official theory test, which are the most important areas to revise? There are some sections of MOT etc but Im not too sure I'd pass them as I dont know much info myself on cars etc.

Which areas should I focus on?

Thanks
