So, finally passed theory and hazard

97/100 for theory and 79/100 hazard perception, expected it to be the other way round but thats what I get for only really revising the theory.

Didn’t realise module 2 was another computerised test, where would I find revision material for this?

If you’ve got a good grasp of the multiple choice you’ll be fine for the case studies. It’s similar information used to answer case studies.

We include half day training for Mod 2 in our Starter Pack but it can be purchased separately.

But the most important advice is to read the scenario and the questions carefully.

All the best with it, Pete :laughing: :laughing:

Hi Pete, is the module 2 the CPC? A few of the truck drivers I work with have said it is but they couldn’t remember exactly.

It’s one part of the cpc yes. It’s pretty similar to the theory but instead you get to read through scenarios! Highly exciting I can tell you

Ah ok thanks for clearing that up, do I detect sarcasm in your post there about it being exciting lol

I didn’t study for the mod 2 and passed it easy .
I got 98/80 on mine so you should be fine

Mod 2 examples = 2pass.co.uk/casestudytheorytest.htm
scroll down to see them

Perhaps this example is better = drivingtheory4all.co.uk/lgv … heory-test

Hi Pete, is the module 2 the CPC?

It’s the first part of the driver cpc. Once you’ve done this you will need to arrange training and test with your chosen trainer. This is known as Mod 4. The common misconception is that is cant be failed. Don’t believe it!! It’s a test, so by definition it is pass/fail. Having said that, the pass rate is very high.

You will normally have to go back to the practical driving test centre for this; in our case we have our own qualified Mod 4 assessor on staff so no great delays in getting it sorted.

Once you’ve got Mods 2 and 4 passed you’ll receive your Driver Qualification Card which you must carry with you whenever you’re driving a truck. It lasts for 5 years. During the 5 year period you need to complete 35 hours of periodic training. Normally classroom based 5 x 7hr sessions. But, if you choose to move up to CE or take another qualification such as HIAB, ADR etc this may go towards those 35 hours. But check with your trainer first. Note that you’ll waste the hours benefit if you do any of this before you’ve passed your Mods 2 and 4 plus your driving test.

Hope this helps, Pete :laughing: :laughing:

No whatever would you mean! :wink: it’s really easy in all seriousness. Don’t stress you will be fine it takes roughly 10-20 mins in reality to do

Thanks for the help guys, looks easy enough!

I passed module 4 on Friday with 100% & I missed my 2 hours “training” on the previous Monday :smiley:
You will be asked 5 questions out of 17 (there were 20 but they recently dropped 3)
Question 5 will always be your daily walk around checks, you can use a physical checklist for this should you need to :blush:
Basically there are 8 permutations of the questions & the examiner will choose which one before the test.

It is split as 5,10,15 & 20% available marks for each of the 5 questions. Pass mark is 80% so you need to get at least 15% in four & 20% in one

Module 2 is just an expansion of your theory test & some common sense
If you are unsure you can flag some of the questions & re visit them later as some of the later questions can help you to answer the others :wink:

I have a copy of the updated questions for Module 4 should you need them but your training provider will most probably give them to you.

If you’re worried about Module 2, and you’re not too hot on regulation (as opposed to rules of the road), it’s probably a good idea to get some revision material. Module 2 test involves a bit of maths, and you’ll need to be up to scratch with WTD and driving time regs “how many more hours can Paul drive for” type questions. I got asked how many hours do you need to do towards CPC training every five years, on four occasions on my test…

I can recommend this DVD I got (below) - although it tests you rather than teaching you (you learn by getting questions wrong), but if you don’t fancy it, go on gov.uk and look up axle weight limits, driving time regs, safe loading practices, that sort of stuff. Personally, I can remember road stuff easily - every road sign, rule, etc, but when it comes to axle weight limits or driving times, I’m having to look it up until I remember it.

For Mod 2 I found the best thing overall is to have a thorough nose through the DSA Guide to Driving Large goods Vehicles. That book really sets you up with everything you need to know.

For a bit of pre-test practice to dial in the questions, I used www.lgvtheory.co.uk and it was worth the small amount of dosh.

Often you book your Mod 4 at the same time as you book your C or C+E. Your training provider should give you material on Mod 4, as well as some actual training. Honestly, I was a bit blase about Mod 4 having watched some videos on YouTube on it, and it turned out to be as easy as I thought. (That doesn’t mean you can switch off though! It’s only easy in as much as you don’t need much in the way of training for it… like any test, you will walk away with ONE of TWO available results!)

For module 2 brush up on working time/driving time/double manning, Vehicle weights, securing loads and legal.

Thats cleared things up, thanks for the advice!

100% Agreed.

I crammed the first 300 pages in over the two days before the test and got 48 /50 (the pass mark is 40). only took me 15 minutes to answer and you are allowed 90 :slight_smile:

TBH I reckon I would have scraped a pass even without the book as much of the test I sat was common sense for anyone with a reasonable command of English and driving in the UK, but obviously some of the questions are more specialised - loading and driver’s hours etc.

My favourite question was something along the lines of:

Is drinking alcohol the night before a driving shift liable to:

(select all that apply)

a) make you more tired the following afternoon
b) make you less tired the following afternoon
c) imcrease your reaction time
d) decrease your reaction time

Sadly I don’t think the answer was b and d :frowning:
