it depends, there are some dodgey questions that you need to have seen, remember, you need to get 35/40 to pass..

So if you get 2/3 of these dodgey questions, you might be in trouble.

you know all your roadsigns? Speed limits? Braking distances?

(also, there is a motors forum...)

before this gets shifted to another forum, ignore the book. Get the trial CD and do it for a couple of hours and you'lll be sorted.

Just go and do the online driving test simulator...

I did my theory test a few weeks back and never so much as looked at the rules of the road. 90% of it is common sense and roadsigns. Passed 39/40

I remember doing it a few years ago. Had never driven before and didn't know the rules of the road. Spent 2 or 3 hrs the night before going through the book and a half hour on the drive down to the testing centre. I only got one wrong, I think.

spent ages making sure i got no less than 37/8 on the CD but I was out in less than 10 mins, you have 40 i think. I got 39 and the one I got wrong was a motorbike one; which I have no intention of ever getting on anyway!!!

It's p!ss easy in Ireland... A disgrace IMO... I actually bought the book and studied it! What a waste of time and money... Sat down in front of that touch screen for 2 minutes and I was done. 40/40... WAY too easy...

I think this is what Connundrum was kindly linking to:

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2054851283

I just got 34 out of 35 right on the simulation (got the 50kph braking distance wrong - put in 50 metres instead of 25 metres; still thinking in mph!!!)
