Hi,
I'm thinking of doing my theory test to get it out the way and then starting on the actual driving lessons. I had a couple of months of lessons about a year ago so I have driven a bit but not for a while.
Has anyone done the theory test while not having lessons? Will it put me at a disadvantage?

It's not too difficult really, the app really helped me a lot and learn the roadsigns. Driving on the road doesn't help that much tbh.

Doing the theory first helped while driving in terms of road signs etc. It also meant it was out of the way by the time I had to take the practical. Definitely an advantage!

I'd definitely recommend doing it before lessons - all the content is better learned from the written material rather than road experience. You'll know all the road signs and your hazard perception will be better so it'll make your practicals more efficient. Made me feel much more confident on the road compared to lessons before I'd passed my theory.

Its not really that hard, you can do it just by common sense questions, i did it without any lessons but i got the gist of each questions.

It's not hard, but by no means is it all common sense. Some questions indeed are but the majority is factual from the Highway Code and you wouldn't know it all just from life experience. Stopping distances, signs, legal requirements to have a car on the road, vehicle safety, etc.

I agree..it's v boring! Just start doing practice tests! Use free or paid revision tools/apps, or buy one of those DVDs. Test, test, test! And then read up in between.

I also did my theory before practical lessons. Used the official app to revise the theory and hazard perception test only, did not read the highway code at all but I passed, its just common sense really and practicing mock tests over again helps to remember.
