Well thats my theory passed got 95/100 which i was pretty disappointed with tbh… but there were loads of questions that never appeared on the practice disc. But a pass is a pass. And i will be arranging my practical side now. And do cpc whilst i wait

Which CPC - periodic 35 or initial 2 tests

hoped for 100 % tbh but there must have been 15 questions that came up that i honestly had never seen before so admitedly a bit of guessing was done

How come you did not do the mod 2 theory at the same time you did the theory and HPT

couldnt get any on the same day… initially i tried for them all on the 24th of july. i could only get hazard. then the next day i had off work yesterday could only get multiple choice. so unfortunately iv had to do them all seperate
Well done BigRob. I’ve copied and pasted some stuff i wrote from another post below just in case you have not seen it. That cpc module 2 can be a bugger. I was very confident with LGV theory but nearly tripped up with module 2.
You really need the offical driving manual for cpc mod 2 test. Every thing you need to know for the test is in there. I wouldn’t waste your money on cpc book. Just go into bookshop and flick through it. All it does is tell you about how the test is conducted got nothing to do with preparing for the test.
Just read the official book a couple of times. They give you all the answers. Try and make sure it is most recent one as if not there might be some incorrect information. When you’ve done LGV theory and then read book you’ll understand what i mean. You can then recognize where the questions/answers will come from.
Like i said on other post most of it is going to be a rehash of what you did in the LGV theory but just asked in a different way. You will have a case study (i think on the left side of screen) which will be repeated for each question. Then the questions you get will be connected to the case study.
FOUND THE FOLLOWING WHICH IS WORTH A READ
This is a theory based examination that must be sat at a DSA approved theory testing centre. It’s a case study based examination that consists of 7 separate scenarios. The scenarios reflect situations a professional driver may encounter is his or her working day. Each scenario has between 7-8 questions. The questions are supported by multi choice answers. So candidates are required to read the case studies carefully, read the questions and select the answer/s which is most applicable.
In total 50 questions will be asked and the pass mark required is at least 40 correct answers. For some the Module 2 case study examination is pretty straight forward however for others it is quite a challenging examination. Those who seem to have most difficulty are those whose English is not their 1st language. The reason being you must be able to read and fully understand the scenarios before you can properly answer the questions.
Unlike the Multi Choice (Module 1A) and Hazard Perception (Module 1B) theory tests the DSA do not provide any real training material to prepare adequately for the module 2 (or Module 4) test. A book has been produced by the DSA which explains what Driver CPC is and what to expect in the exam however this does not provide any of the questions or answers that will be given in the examination.
Please note. The DSA (or any other organisation) will not publish (in advance) any of the questions and answers candidates will receive in the Module 2 test. So learning parrot fashion is not possible.
Just done cpc module 2. Managed to get 47/50. Wish i can say i left room confident i had passed. But i wasn’t sure one way or the other. I think the biggest problem with this test is risk of panic if you get a question at the beginning that you just don’t know. Then another one comes up and you’re thinking f… i am going to fail.
My advice for what it’s worth:
-
always remeber that you can get 10 wrong and still pass. It’s unlikely you are going to get more than that wrong if you can pass the LGV theory as there is quite a bit of overlap with the questions. I had one asking how many days can you drive for 10 hours.

DO NOT NEGLECT PARTS OF THE DVSA DRIVING GOODS VEHICLES MANUAL BECAUSE YOU THINK IT WON’T COME UP!!!
Although familiar with drivers hours I made the mistake in not learning the rules about multi-manning. Typical i get a bloody multi-manning case study. I wasn’t sure if it was:
9 hours rest in 24 hours / 9 hours in 30 hours / 11 hours in 24 hours / 11 hours in 30 hours
I flagged it came back to at the end and think i went for 9 hours in 30 hours. I know from the book i saw a mention of 30 hours when it is multi-manned but just didn’t learn it enough.
Another question in same case study was: Bill and Bob decide to use their tachograph charts as their only record of drivers hours. How long do they have to keep them for? 6 months / 1 year / 18 months / 2 years
I honesly didn’t know. i went between 18 months and 2 years but in the end cannot even remember what i chose.
I also got that ratio question again. Maybe others can work this out a lot easily than me. Question about tippers. Your old vehicle was 16,800kg payload and you get a new one 25,200kg. What is the ration of new to old?
Now i knew i had to divide them both by a common factor. I started with dividing by two. [Bare in mind you can’t have any paper/pen with you]. I then spotted i could divide by 12. So you get a ration of 21:14 Divide by 7 and you get 3:2 So the new vehicle you can make two trips compared to three in the old one. I’m sure there is an easier way of doing it, but under exam/time conditions it’s easy to panic.
Unfortunately they don’t tell you what questions you failed on just categories.
Had a question about loads. Load carrying wood, bags and tubular metal. What would you use for the metal: answer must have been chains. I know i had come across using chains for metal but i was thinking tubular maybe not any sharp edges maybe ropes would have been okay as the other material being carried i’m sure ropes would have been suitable.
The case studies are all quite long so i really cannot recall any in detail.
I had a question about drinking alcohol. It asked: How long, at a minimum, would the alcohol stay in the blood stream. The answer were different ranges from 6-14 up to over 72 hours. What threw me was “at a minimum”. So i went for the 6-14 hours.
As i said most questions you will recognize as if you were doing the LGV theory it’s just a few buggers they throw in that you need to be prepared for.
cheers for the reply mate. iv got the theory disc and dvsa guide to driving large good vehicles so im going to study them… but i can honestly say from them examples you have put up i would not pass dont know anything about ratios or manned hours 
The book is the main one to focus on. Probably a good idea to continue with the theory questions as well until you are hitting closer to 100. You don’t want to lose points on those. If you have to lose points do it on the buggers.
That might be the only ratio question they have. I’ve checked book and looks like i got the multi manning questions right. Is 9 hours rest minimum in every 30 hours. If i went for 2 years retain records then i got that right as well.
I’ve remembered another question i got: driver (forget her name but it was a woman) witnessed a car clip a bicycle. What should she have done: find a safe place to stop (I CHOSE THIS) / stop and block the road / drive to the nearest police station / continue with journey. I can’t be sure but i think i might have got this wrong. I got an accident one wrong but thats the only accident question i remember getting. Finding a safe place to stop would be best. But what if there was no safe place to stop. How far should you continue until you can find a place? I suppose blocking the road would make sense if the cyclist was in danger.
It’s also worth pointing out that unlike the other theory when you are asked to choose correct answer this test asks you to choose the “best” option. This implies that there might be more than one that you could choose but one is better than the others. I suppose some drivers would have just stopped and got out to help the cyclist even if they were blocking the road. Others would have thought not my problem and kept on driving. Some may have driven on a bit to find a safe place to stop. Probably nobody would have driven to the nearest police station.
Guy in test centre said this test is a stinker. I assume he meant not easy. As i said i think you need to be confident that you can answer all the theory ones then you shouldn’t need to worry about getting up to 10 wrong on this test.
[There is a better a way with the ratio one. No need to do what i did. Just add numbers together until they reach the same then you’ve got your ratio. Payload 16,800kg old vehicle and 25,200kg new vehicle
Double 25,200 = 50,400
Triple 16,800 = 50,400
I don’t think they will make it harder than that. [Might even be the only one ] I might have even got this wrong. Got right ratio 3:2 but one of the answers may have been 2:3 Depends if they were asking how many trips old to new OR how many trips new / old? Don’t think i checked. Too busy trying to work it out i didn’t look at all the answers. B*******]
PROBABLY BEST ADVICE THERE: ALWAYS LOOK AT ALL THE ANSWERS BEFORE YOU CHOOSE ONE 
What i think they do is design the case study then choose a load of questions. But then only allocate some of those questions to the case study. So they could have 5 people doing same case study but each one gets a different set of questions. This explains why one of my case studies had a torn curtain. But did not get any question on that.
Just recalled another question: what do you use on the fifth coupling? one of questions was lithium grease. No mention of lithium grease in book. I think it just says grease. Can’t remember other answers. But i did spend a bit of time thinking this over as the lithium bit obvioulsy spooked me.
