Revise.

Google is your friend at times like this. There are many, many sites that can help you specifically with this test and others that will help you with general learning techniques.

Good luck.

Flash a bit of leg.

As well as flashing your legs. Get one of the DVDs that the DVLA sell. There's a load of good advice and most importantly several examples of the hazard perception test that you can practice on.

I did a theory test a couple of years ago when I took my motorcycle test and found that the questions were fairly straight forward if you do a bit of revision. I had the benefit of having driven for 17 years mind you. The hazard perception test needs practice.

I assume this is all advice you've received from your instructor already, no quick fixes I'm afraid, revise and practice.

You have to get thirty out of thirty-five questions right. Had I known that at the pub quiz last week, we'd have walked away with £430.

There's quite a few theory test quizzes in the movie section (Flixster?) on Facebook.

A friend did the theory test a short while ago and said it wasnt a problem because a lot of the questions are common sense but that doesnt mean you dont need to revise.Also i thought it was 55 questions not 35 questions.

You must be progressing well as i remember when you announced that you were learning to drive a little while ago.

I learnt to drive in an automatic which some people think are idiots cars but i dont think so as everyone drives automatic cars in the states and they are much better for driving in towns.

Secondhand cars have never been cheaper than they are now either.

During the perception test, do NOT be tempted to switch off the computer and reach out with your feelings.

get your hands on one of the practice DVDs for the hazard perception just so you know what they're on about. Be clear in your head the difference between a potential hazard and a developing Hazard. click the mouse like a mad thing for either! ( tho you can fail for random clicking as fast as you can )

as for questions, simply memorise the whole book.

I've done the bloody thing twice now, Bike & HGV, if only the practical tests were as easy or affordable.
