Theory passed + notes for new takers

[tmcraig]

Hey All,

First step now done, Theory completed, now onto CBT. yeah i know its not a biggy. Small victory non the less

Just a couple things for people thinking about taking it.

I literally downloaded an android app called "motorcycle Theory Test +Hazard" was scoring 43-45 out of 50 straight away, think this is mainly down to 10+ years driving. booked test for a week later, before test i was scoring 48-50. so was confident on the theory side.

This app is good as it has the same hazard perception style videos and flags. So if your like me and never did the hazard perception before, this helps.

On your test the into video shows you how to do the hazard perception test, for me its bull. it shows a hell of a lot of clicks for everything thats moving. A friend told me he click too many times and it gives you a score of zero. So i thought id test this as i knew id done well for most of it.

I mainly used 7 clicks, on 1 i used 9 and this was allowed, then on another i used 11 and it gave me zero score for clicking too many times. so stick under 9 and your all good

end result 49 out of 50 for theory and 56 out of 75 for hazard perception.

hope it helps someone.

Well done Craig. Respectable scores. Every hurdle can be a 'biggy' if you are taking it!

It is not so much the number of times that you click that creates a 'cheat' zero score. It is about how it is clicked. You can click 10 or 11 times in a single clip if there is a lot happening and you feel that there is sufficient justification. What causes the problem is systematically or rhythmically clicking throughout the clip.

The software is written to ensure that you are responding to potential hazards and not clicking to 'edge your bets' and hope to cover the hazard.
