Theory (MC + PVG)

NEW AND WANNABE DRIVERS (INTERACTIVE)
1

Had my theory test this morning, first the Pointless Video Game (a.k.a. Hazard Perception Test), which was the one I was nervous about. Happily, with the all the preparation I had, I got 89% :slight_smile: . Went straight in for the Multiple Choice and got 100%, so ready to book my training, finally. Relief that’s over, can forget all the stuff I’ve learned :wink:

A big thanks to this forum and its contributors for the wealth of information, it all really helped. Now for the hard, but exciting part… :smiley:

Thanks Jen :slight_smile:

I know a lot of this information is already elsewhere, but in case it helps anyone looking to do their theory, here are the resources I used:

The Official DSA GUIDE to DRIVING GOODS VEHICLES (could search the net for a pdf)
The Official DSA Theory Test for Drivers of Large Vehicles
The Official DSA Guide to Hazard Perception

Many free HPT videos available here:

learnerdriving.com/hazard-pe … n-test.php (this is probably the best; when you get the results you can click on each video and review where the scoring occurs)

driving-test-success.com/haz … _main.html

theaa.com/aattitude/games/hpt.jsp

2pass.co.uk/mockhazardtest.htm

billplant.co.uk/hazard/hazard.php

With the HPT, do your preparation before attempting the mock tests (read the advice already posted elsewhere), don’t ‘waste’ the mock trials as you only get one ‘first go’; after that you’ll know what to look for so it’s not a proper test (although repeating the test can help you determine the best time window for clicking).

As for technique, I clicked when noticing a hazard ‘developing’ and clicked again shortly afterwards, in case the first click was too early. Some say click three times but you really want to avoid the ‘anti-cheat’, scoring 0 is bad news.

Good luck!
