Tips for Your Theory Test

Before getting your license, you need to pass your theory test first. For some people, this can be as hard as the practical test. Here are some tips by Lucinda Colingson to help you cope with that.

Theory Test - 5 Important Tips to Help You Pass

A lot of people mainly concentrate on the main practical driving test and often overlook the theory test. They think it's easy and they will probably pass first time only to end up with egg on their face. It's important to try and pass your theory test as soon as possible so it doesn't hold you back in your quest to gain a full license.

1) Revise, revise and revise again...

Buy an up to date revision book and read it through until you're bored of it. This is all stuff you need to know anyway so you will have to learn it at some point. Treat it like you did when you were revising for your GCSE and a-level exams. It's important to take it just as seriously.

2) Take practise tests

These days there are a range of practise tests you can do either on DVD or online. This is as close as you can get to the real thing. So if you can pass these tests you will probably have no problem with the actual theory test. Do a revision session with a mock exam at the end of it every time and track your results to see what improves.

3) Speak to others who have already passed

It doesn't hurt to ask for advice, especially with the hazard test. Those who have already passed can often tell you interesting things to look out for or be aware of then you might not have previously thought of.

4) Prepare on the day correctly

On the day you have your theory booked, try and book an afternoon appointment and if possible take the morning off work. You can get a lot of extra revision done that will stay fresh in your mind. If coming straight from work or college to the test centre you may already have a million other things on your mind from your day so far and won't be fully focused on the theory test.

5) Don't tell anyone

Lastly, don't tell anyone that you're going to take your theory. Not even your parents. When you tell everyone you immediately put yourself under more pressure to pass and you feel even worse when you don't. Best thing is to keep it to yourself and when you do pass it will be a nice surprise for your family. If you don't pass then just keep it to yourself and try again. At least when you do pass everyone will think you did it first time!
