iiisecondcreep Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Buy one of the theory discs (can get them cheap as buttons on ebay) and practice practice practice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza_b Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 I have been doing some of them on the Internet, an due to it being booked in for next Wednesday, I may not get very long to use the disk, of course depending on how they send it etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iiisecondcreep Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 practice ones on internet will probably be just as good Don't forget to try and get practice for the hazard perception as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazza_b Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 I'm really thankful for all your replies, hopefully these may help me get through it and on to mod one a lot sooner , thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 On the hazard perception it is obvious you can not continuously click the mouse.But my advice is to click twice when you see the hazard. I did.The points scored reduce from 5 to 0 as you reach each hazard.Some times you may click too early and score nothing, the second click may get you 5 or 4 points.Also if the vid starts and the road is wet, thats an immediate hazardHope all this makes senseGood Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazza_b Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Thanks, feeling a bit better about the hazard thing, been doing them on my iPod and computer, getting between 4-5 each clip, so I'm happy with that.But one thing I notice is that I always see more hazards than the test says, is this normal, cause I click around 4 times each clip, an that's one click per hazard.Although the theory is the one I'm a bit nervous about, I do the motorbike one on direct.gov, hoping the one I get is like that (I booked with them), an I pass each time easy, but I tried a car one and I failed, are there many questions that would go in both the car and motorbike theory?

Guest Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Most (but not all) of the questions apply to both car and bike. The CD I recommended has the full bank of theory test questions for both.With the hazard perception, it's important to understand what the examiners mean by a "developing hazard", as it's this which they're looking for you to pick up. There really is only one in each clip (apart from the one clip which has two), and it's very obvious in the real DSA clips.So, for example, someone pushing a pram along the pavement doesn't warrant a click even though you might (quite rightly) perceive them as a potential hazard. Potential hazards don't count! But if they stop and turn towards the road as if to cross it, that's your cue to click, and it would be a good idea to click again when they actually move into the road, just to be sure.

Paul456 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Some useful advice in here, thanks guys. Sounds pretty similar to the car one really and i had no problems with that.I saw the Help For Heros ride over in Scarborough on my way to York last weekend, was quite a sight and reminded me of how i need to get my tests and everything done as soon as possible ready for my 21st.
