There are a number of different versions online which will give you a wider variety of questions so don't just stick with one. Google for them & try some others.

That's all I did : 50/50

I have a DVD that I used last Summer (to get 100%). PM me your address and I'll send it on to you. Bung a few quid to Macmillan if you find it helpful.

Did you get the paid-for app or the free version? Can’t go wrong for £2.49. Got me through mine.

[colin86]

A bought the app was 3.99 seems really good just wondering if there was anything else or even questions that come up a lot. Or am a best just to keep studying all of it ??

I thought it was all common sense? I didn’t even look through a book when I did mine.

if you have been driving for years. If not you need to learn.

I would just suggest a bit of time and revise. Just to make sure you don't make a mistake. Always worth being prepared

I used this one last year. Did every question just to be sure. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.... I'm sure the app is also available on iPhone

It is simply the easiest test you will ever sit with minimum revision.

In fact its that piss easy you will read the question and actually think, "nope that's too bloody easy it has to be wrong".

"why am I finished this in 15 minutes when I have 45 and everyone else is still here doing these".

I still find it very odd they don't allow you to wear a jumper, a watch or anything else like that in the room. Putting your phone in the locker I can understand, but being strip searched of your wallet and such fells like getting checked in for the weekend at HRH pleasure in the holding cells.

Most drivers, particularly those who have had advanced driving tuition, find the hazard perception part quite difficult. Often as a result of identifying the displayed 'hazards' too early. A technique you can use here on this part of the test is to click earlier than you would expect, click when in the real world you would identify it as being a hazard and then after. Don't manically click endlessly as that's detected and will result in a null score, just 3 times at the most for each hazard with a minor pause between. That way you should get at least a score for each hazard.

Don't know what test centre MTB went to but they didn't strip search me at the Greenock test centre... Maybe they trust us more on the West Coast (yeah right...)

I had to take my bloody jumper off and sit in the most bding freezing cold air conditioned room in the world for 30 minutes. I felt like a fking Turkey Dinosaur in the freezer aisle in Tesco. I came out shaking, the guy thought I was nervous I was just fking baltic.

They're simple but I always struggled to remember stopping distances.

Signs are worth refreshing too.

All the questions on the apps are ones from tests so just do loads of practice tests

all the hazard tests are no CGI and really obvious when there's a hazard. Because it's always a walker or cyclist or truck coming out of a side road etc

I just did a test and a few videos whenever I got a spare ten minutes. I’ve had a car for a few years but no harm done in practising.

And I left my analogue watch on during the theory test and the guy noticed towards the end and made out like it was some covert operation to get me out of the building without anyone noticing. He even said he would ‘sort out’ the CCTV footage.

Thanks alot will just keep studying and hopefully get this done. Many questions do you need to get correct ?

Used the same one. Kept doing the mock tests till I was getting close to 100%. Test was easy after that as I'd seen most of the questions before/or similar. Didn't bother buying any books/dvds, but have been driving a long time though.
