Help me!

LC2010HIS

Hey guys,
Right, so basically I want to get the theory test done by the end of August.
This evening I was gonna start studying but just 3 weeks after the leaving, Im a bit confused on how to study this effectively...
Any methods anyone? Just tried to start and I found it overwhelming

I took it in 2009 but failed by 2 marks.

Help please. Thanks guys!

Theory test? There's the CD or the book. You could spend a small time every day doing the sample questions on the CD, and going through sections. Alternatively get the book, go somewhere quiet and read it for a bit a day.

The key is doing it in small chunks, doing it all at once means it'll be harder to take it in.

I studied for it using the book, I found it much more practical than the CD.

I read through the questions covering the * which told you the correct answer as I did. I guessed the answer to the question (a lot of them are just common sense), and then checked if I had it right. If I didn't get it right I marked it to come back to again, when I guessed again to see if I had learned it. I spent most of the time after going through the book looking at the more difficult ones that I had marked and flew through the others. I did most of the work in the last day or two before the exam.

The CD is handy to do tests after you've gone through it, but I think the book's a better buy.

Oh, I also meant to ask!

Since I sat it first in 2009, I had the 2008edition.
Honestly, I barely have the money to be spending on a test, let alone the 2011 edition book.

Is there much of a difference?

Also, thanks for advice above. My mind is in tatters due to the LC:o

Hi there, Maybe best not to study for the test specifically, just get the rules of the road book and read it at your leisure not as a test book like at school. The theory test is mostly common sense from a drivers viewpoint, you dont have that viewpoint yet as you are not a driver. So when you are a passenger in any vehicle in the future, pay attention to the road and signs etc as if you were driving and it will put what you have read into perspective. Its not hard work its just you have to change from passive passenger to driver. Hope this helps!

I used the CD. Found it great, not like studying at all. I just did the test over and over. Started off getting 20-30 then once I got up to 35-40 I started studying the sections, starting with the ones with the least amount of questions and kept doing each section until I got them 100% correct.
I'd say i put the best part of 2 hours an evening into it for 2 weeks before the test and passed 40/40.
I found it more like a challenge than studying and basically couldn't stop until I got 100%

the cd is by far the best way of studying - do the test section over and over again , then after about 10 trial tests go to the analysis and see which section you need to improve on then start studying that section on the cd . then do another trial tests on the cd and see how you get on

i did this for about 3 weeks - and got top marks

best of luck
