Full Test Difficulty (theory and practise)

[Guest]

Hello everybody and thanks prematurely for any answers.

I have a question of a very general nature and subjectiveness but hope somebody will have an idea or suggestion.

Within the next month I am planning to take my theory test and hopefully the practical modules.(Direct A access)

Given facts:

I have about 15k experience Km on my fathers bikes in Greece (unfortunately and shameful to admit illegally)

I have paid for 6, 2hr lessons before my test

I have quite alot of technical knowledge, as I do most of work on our bikes( from simple service to valve service)

The ONLY experience on the road here I have is from my road-bicycle (on road use though always with 20+ miles per day)

Theory resources: -essential rider skills book -mock tests on net -highway code

I have already passed theory in Greece once which is similar but failed timeline for practical module

Sought facts:

Do you think my theory resources are enough to pass test?

Judging with the above image, could I be optimistic in the practical modules or require much more?

I would say theory test you should be okay.

Test wise should be fine as long as you didn't pick up bad habits cycling! I'm really nervous with regards to doing my test although couple of years ago I did pass cbt while riding a Honda cb500, lucky me! Where I struggle is with figure of eight and U-turns. What im finding helpful is looking at videos on YouTube where instructors are giving advice, and seeing others do them. I keep panicking they have to be small and tight but seeing the room allowed is making me feel better!

Hope this helps you. All the best with your test. Sure you will be fine.

Theory you will be fine. Practice the hazard awareness clips online to get a feel for when to click and how much to click- I nearly failed as I was clicking too early, remember it's set for unexperienced young drivers! Mod 1 you should be OK with 1 lesson, mod 2, 3 lessons. I help to run ridercraft Ltd with Glenn Julian (rider of great roads great rides etc.) and this is the avg number of lessons clients need, although our lessons are 3 hours long, and some riders need more especially if they have no road use experience or struggle with the physical application of techniques on the machine- both if which it sounds like u have already. We rarely have a fail on either module.good luck and practice techniques all the time on ur push bike between lessons to get those bad habits out and the new ones in!

Hello to everybody, I wanted to say I passed my theory test today and am very grateful for you advice.

The best thing I could say is be careful with the hazard test and BUY or FIND the official dvd..
