This Is So Frustrating

[queenofmean]

I've got my theory test in about 10 days.

I've been doing mock tests as I'm rubbish at Hazard Perception. I passed that and failed the theory tests miserably each time.

I could scream I am so frustrated!

It's like nothing is going in or it's in there and can't get out.

practice, practice, practice, not easy but it's preparing you! xx

[queenofmean]

I'm doing that DT but going nowhere. I'll keep at it though.

Do you have friends / family doing mock tests with you, queenie.
Certainly helped with my youngest daughter.

[queenofmean]

I don't no Tony.

I'm using my book and the local library website that has a programme with all the questions and Hazard Perceptions in an Exam format.

Stop me if I'm wrong, but I'm guessing you are not a teenager. A friend of my wife, female aged 53 had a similar problem. I suggested she get help from a teenage boy who had recently passed their test. She got a friends son to help and tutor her, passed first time. Then she failed the practical.

I'm 29 Sapelesam. I've passed my theory before but it lapsed. I've failed my practical twice.

I've had so much to deal with that I let it lapse and I regret it. But I'm gunning for it now but I can't get round this hurdle. That being said I've had a struggle this week this could just be a blip on the radar.
But ta for the tip!

Having driven for years I wasn't aware of the theory lapsing, how long does it remain valid? and best of luck.

Hang in there. My nephew failed his theory five times. But he did it in the end. Failed because of nerves. Now he has to pass the practical.

I do consider this a bit of a cheat, but when you pass your theory you can take your test in an area of your choice. I read an article where a woman from London did her practical somewhere in Scotland,one of the islands I think, drive around avoiding sheep, she passed.

[Smowball]

You have two years from passing the theory to passing the practical I believe.

Queenie is in Scotland Sam.

Wow, welcome coincidence.

[queenofmean]

You have 2 years from passing your test to passing the practical.

Hehe...it's a bonus and I live in a Test Centre town.

I'll be fine I know I will. I just do not want to fail.

I'll keep at it :)

[queenofmean]

First time I failed my theory was by one mark...I was vexed!

[sapelesam]

Hope you don't mind if I have a little boast. I passed my test at 4.32pm on my 17th birthday. Got my picture in the Newcastle Evening Chronicle. Mind you, the man with the red flag was in the picture as well.

[Smowball]

Lol well done!

Thanks Smowball, it's at the top of my list of minor achievments, just before my 100% Pass, Cycling Proficiency Test.

Remove a credit for my spelling of achievement.
