Tips For Theory Test Revision

Before you can get out on the road to take your practical driving test, you need to demonstrate that you have the theoretical knowledge required to be a safe driver. This means that you need to take your driving theory test first.

In many cases, your driving instructor will be telling you much of what you need to know during your lessons. However, in many cases this will not be enough on its own to simply pass the test without any sort of revision. As such, you need to ensure that you are using the proper tools and resources to get yourself where you need to be by the time you take the test.

Everybody has their own method of revision, but there are still a few key factors that need to be taken into account when you sit down with your books and get to it.

Always Use DSA Materials

There is a lot of information out there for people who are trying to pass their theory test, so it is important to make sure you have the right info available to you. Always ensure that any materials you use are approved by the DSA, even if that means spending a little bit more. At least this way, you can ensure that everything you read is relevant and accurate. It is also a good idea to have the most up-to-date materials available at your disposal, as small changes could spell disaster when it comes time to take the test.

Practice Hazard Perception

It may be tempting to consider the Hazard Perception portion of the theory to be fairly simple. After all, you are practicing it every time that you drive a car during your driving lessons.

While this is true, to an extent, it still helps to have materials that simulate the test itself. After all, there is a difference between clicking a mouse and reacting on the road, so you need to account for this by getting the proper materials. Try a test or two a night in the weeks leading up to your theory test and your reactions will be honed and ready by the time you take it.

Ask Your Driving Instructor

If you come across any information that you don’t understand or you have yet to be taught, don’t be afraid to ask your driving instructor. After all, they are there to give you all of the help that you need to pass, so you shouldn’t be nervous about making use of them as a resource. In most cases they should be able to resolve any issues that you have with the material and help you along your way to passing the theory test.

Get The Right Setting

Distractions are the enemy of any revision session, so make sure you minimise the risk of being pulled away from your books when you do sit down to study. Turn your phone off and make sure there is no music playing and no television blaring. Try to focus entirely on your materials for as long as you study session is pencilled in for and consider the things that would normally distract you to be a reward for studying hard.
