finally have my mod 4 this friday after being cancelled three times what should i be doing to revise etc sorry to sound thick lol just i cant afford to fail lol passed my class2 back in feb/march so been a while and having not been near a truck since i seem to of lost most of it.so any help would be great 
Your training school should give you some trainging befor the test. Mine did
Take a look at this

yeah they are i have to be in avonmouth at 6:45 am dont know what time the test is just wanted to know if anything i could do in mean time
Iâve had a week or two between my C+E and my mod4.
Iâve been reading through a little of the âOfficial DSA guide to driving goods vehiclesâ to be honest I wish it had a a CPC section where you can just read everything that would be covered in the test. What you have to do is just read through it all basically to cover everything.
I havenât been living in the book, just picking it up for a hour a day.
Iâm leaving for my Mod4 in 20 minutes. My trainer gives you 3 hours tuition then over to the test centre for the test.
good luck any feedback from your test would be greatfully received the only reason been such a big gap between my class c test and mod four test is i have recently had two spinal operations and the mod 4 tests either was while i was in hospital or during recovery period then the first op went wrong so had another now thats gone wrong but wont be undergoing another operation for a month or to pending mri results
Ohh that doesnât sound nice at all. I hope they get you all fixed up.
Hereâs my CPC thread CLICKY CLICKY
To be honest I really am finding it difficult to suggest anything. The questions can be so varied. I did have a bit of trouble keeping everything in my head and a few times I was just babbling while I was thinking of something plausible to respond with lol.
Read as much of the âOfficial DSA guide to driving goods vehiclesâ there are A LOT of topics covered but its the only thing I can suggest to cover everything.
Sorry I couldnât be more helpful 
glad you passed well i will read that book and go from there lol. on the issue with my back i now have to have a spinal fusion but they have to do an mri first to confirm the disc has ruptured again lol well at least with the fusion i wont have to worry about the disc again as it will be gone lol
Theyâll more than likely ask you to do a daily walk around, how youâd check for illegals on your lorry after coming back from europe, ask you how youâd strap a certain load down and get you to demonstrate the sucuring device youâd use on a trolley etc. The whole time you have to tell them what your doing and use certain terms, so when your doing your walk around you say âiâm checking for damage to tyre i.e cords or wire hanging out, making sure there is 1mm of tread over 3/4 the width of the tyre, making sure theres no bricks etc wedged in the double wheelsâ, but your acting as though your in the work place, so you cant â â â â about checking one wheel for 10mins. Its â â â â â â â â to be honest you should of been doing daily walk arounds on your lessons and that is about the only useful bit of it anyway, when you start somewhere the guys will show you how to strap a load down anyway if you dont know and putting one â â â â â â â rachet â â â â â â â â a trolley isnât teaching you anything but good luck, keep talking and you wont fail lol.

im not using avon driver training though i did use one of there trucks to learn/ test they got two volvos red one and white one the white one is a â â â â â with the gears (im sure it was them) whats the name of the person you are meeting for your assessment
I think his name is Richard Iâm not 100% sure to be honest. Do you know any of them or have you driven with any of themâŚ?
Do you live in Bristol�
no i havent driven with them or know any i used a guy who works out of avonmouth but lives at nunney also no i dont live in bristol i live in between frome and shepton mallet if you dont get on with them message me and ill give you the guys number who i used there on ly two guys but really good i passed my test first time i also ad the boss of the test station as my examiner he complamented my drive and apparently for him to do that must have been really good only had three minors, when i did the reverse excersise he told me not to get out to stay in the cab that it was spot on and didnt need to check lol so was well happy with that as that was the bit i was dreading lol

Dont worry about doing a dolly knot you wont have to do one, youâll only really use either a bar, rachet strap or chains but sounds like youâve got most of that covered.
As far as a daily walk around your looking to make sure the vehicle is safe to use and take out, so check your tyres, spray suspession (mud guards) making sure there not hanging off, make sure the body is solid, check your lights, washers n wipers, clean number plates, make sure youâve got a height indicator, (dont over look it iâve been given a truck and the indicator was behind the back of the dash and was not the right height!!), make sure your mirrors are there, engine oil, coolant etc. You will get training on all this so dont worry but alittle bit of research like what your doing will def aid you.
Thanks I will PM you if I have any problems at all with them, they do seem Ok though and I have met 2 of the 3 that work there.
That was a bit of luck having the boss as the test examiner, I would be well happy with that result 
Hope you pass your CPC mod 4
