Theory test questions.

Dubchild

Thanks Biko

Hi everyone, I think i will book my theory test soon, i've studied the cd and book and i used to get around 7 wrong, im at the stage now where it says i get around 3 to 5 wrong which will get me through to a pass. Sometimes i do it twice in a row and it says i pass on both trys. I'm afraid i'll go and get some tricky questions and i'll fail, i cant afford to be paying the fee too often. Does anyone who has done the theory test recently, what could be the one or 2 that could trip me up. Thank U :pac:

Personally I think it's a good idea to take a note of all the questions which contain hard numbers as answers (tread depth, stopping distance, etc), and just put in the effort of learning them off. There aren't that many of them, but those are the questions where if you are asked them, there's no real common sense method you can apply to find out the answer.

As for the rest, I think you should sit down with the book and go through each question and answer them in your own words before you look at the answer, and if the answer you give is more or less the same as the one in the book, move on to the next one.
If however you're stumped, make a note of that particular question and by the time you're finished looking through the book you'll have a nice list of the question which could trip you up.

It's then just a matter of putting an emphasis on those questions during your study. It's not as much work as it sounds, about 90% of the questions are common sense, so really all you're doing is separating them out from the 10% you'll probably need to learn.

Sorry if that wasn't the advice you were looking for, I can't remember any particularly trippy questions in the test myself.

The questions that kept tripping me up were the ones that have stopping distances in. I wrote them in the back of the book and looked at them everyday coming up to the test.

Did mine last week, I ended up getting 100% in my test HOORAH!



Good luck, I'm sure you'll do fine. Keep doing the test on the CD ROM, that was the biggest help for me!

If you go into the analysis section of the disc it will show you where you are weakest. Also there is a list of questions which you have consistently got wrong. When doing the test on disc or in the exam flag the questions you are unsure of then review them before you finish. Use the full 40 mins!

Thanks for your replies. I will write down the ones like stopping distances in wet and dry weather and be sure of the right answers. I have some trouble sometimes knowing who has the right of way in those sample pics on the cd. I think i'll revise a week or 2 more before i book the theory test.

Well done Ericaa *

Make sure you know the stopping distance questions. They can be tricky
