Don't Cram - Pass Easily       

Passing the theory test got much harder from September 2007, when the DSA will introduced new questions on the environment and health in addition to increasing the number of questions from 35 to 50 and increasing the pass mark to 43 questions.

Here are 5 tips to help you pass the new driving theory test first time.

1.Flick through the Highway code at least once a day for about 2-3 minutes. Doing this will get you familiar with more of the road signs and try to just look at a different section each day. You do not need to read in detail just have a quick look each day and you will pick important bits up.

2.Practise at least 5 times before the real test l. As a minimum you should take a mock driving theory test at least 5 times before attempting the real driving theory test, if you want to guarantee success you should make sure that you can pass the mock theory test three times in a row.

3.Analyse your progress. If you fail questions in the mock tests then see which topics you have failed questions in. You should read through the sections that you are failing in the most and get and revise the key concepts you should know for that section.

4.Take breaks. You will not be able to cram all of the information needed in one session and you will need to let your mind relax. Do a mock test then have a break and do something else, then do another one. Taking breaks in this way help reduce the headaches and other problems you might find from sitting in-front of a computer for too long - and also increase your concentration.

5.Revise in different ways. If you can find different ways to revise for the test, in addition to taking the mock tests, see if you can play simple games to help you remember signs and concepts. For example you can get someone to describe the signs to you and see if you can recognise them from the description - or see if you can describe the signs to someone else when they give you the name of the sign.

There are a lot of resources available to practise the driving theory test - books, websites and programmes make sure you chose resources that allow you do as many of the above tips as possible.
