I passed my theory test a few days ago with 43/50 on the questions and 61/75 on hazard perception. I was initially relieved to have passed first time (and pleasantly surprised with the hazard perception result), but I can’t help feeling disappointed that I only just scraped a pass on the questions. I read the Highway Code and took loads of practice tests (although I probably could’ve gone over road signs a bit more as three road sign questions tripped me up), so I feel a bit dumb that it still wasn’t enough to get a great pass mark. Most people who just scraped a pass seem happy just to have passed, but I’m a perfectionist and really wanted to come away with a higher mark, especially as I was used to getting 47+ on practice tests.
Did anyone else who just scraped a pass (either on the questions or hazard perception) feel disappointed with their pass mark to the point that they wanted to retake their test? I thought I’d ask because I’ve not really come across any threads about low pass marks. And I feel like I’m probably the first person EVER to consider retaking the theory test with a pass lol. To be honest though, I think that’s been fuelled by someone’s comment (“you revised that much and only JUST passed?”) and smart asses on forums shaming people who only just scrape a pass, saying how they shouldn’t be on the roads. I’m pretty shocked by how nasty and snobbish some people are about others’ pass marks.
