However, the first time I did it I didn't revise as much as I should have done, this was a mistake as I obviously didn't pass but it was only by 2 on the questions! I was so gutted!
1. Make sure you book your test way before you are able to do your practical test! I started learning at the end of October start of November and didn't book my first theory test until about March! When I failed I was gutted and had to wait another 3 weeks until I could retry. My instructor said I could have booked my practical already but I hadn't passed my theory so was unable to, this urged me on to revise so much more than I did!
2. Not revising a lot was a big mistake for first time round. Failing the first time round got into my head that I know I didn't revise more and I totally regretted it! Make sure you do a little bit everyday for your upcoming test! I learnt so much more and stuff came up on my scond test hat I wouldn't have known first time round but did the second as I revised a lot more!
3. Don't just use apps on the apple App Store, this are mostly only mock tests and don't contain all the information you need to know. This was my mistake first time round! Use actual books, they may cost a fair bit but they defiantly do the job!
4. Some Highway Code books can cost a bomb so ask friends or family who have passed their theory if you can borrow them, this will save you a load of money and educate you at the same time!
Here is the book I used, passed down from both my older brothers!
5. Try and stay calm, you will be nervous but don't panic, talk things slow and you'll be fine. I spoke to a girl before we went in and it was her first time, she was so nervous, it's fine once you get in there, just the build up to you going in is nerve racking!
Once you finish the test the suspense to getting you belongings from the locker to walking to the desk to have the piece of paper passed over to you is crazy! I always waited until I was out the room to open up the letter. As soon as I saw the words congratulations I let out a little scream! I was over the moon, never have to do it again!
As soon as I got out the building I tried ringing people and the first person to answer was my brother so he was the first to find out...he should feel privileged :P.
I went shopping with my mum to celebrate as she met me in norwich to pick me up!
