I found it difficult to do the HP no probs with the questions
been driving for 30 yrs passed car test in 1980 but needed to do it for bike test
was horrible lol
apparently i was clicking to early and missing the 54321 like i would have got 6 or 7 if they had been there.
that was only after i understood it.
the first time i tried a cd i didnt click before the film finished (was looking for kids with breeze blocks on m way bridges and push bikes flying into the road off the pavement etc )
then i realised it was potential hazards
however the official dsa cd explained it ok but only 2 clips and when they are done they are pointless keep doing
so i got an aa one which had loads of clips to practice with and tried that
out of about 20 attempts i scraped 2 passes (just) when i decided that the best way for me to go was when i spot the hazard click and because i missed by being to early click again,
so every time i spotted a potential hazard i used the method MIRROR click SIGNAL click Manouvre click left 1 second between each of the clicks hence the words
decided to book the test like a mock 32 quid but worth it to see if it was any better on their real clips and equipment
took the 15 minute break thats offered and watched the video and lo and behold hazard perception was explained to me in a very concise to the point and simple way and i just got it
got a better score on the HP than i did on the questions but hey i passed
the dsa dvd explains the hazard perception ok but it is a bit long winded and fussy, and too many distractions with the nicey smiley lady waffling on about it
just a pity you have to pay 32 quid to see the hey this is what you do and how you do it in plain simple english video
so my advice would be have a go on the dvds to get the idea of what your looking at then dont worry if you dont pass on the store bought things as they are a bit rubbish,
invest in the test you can always do it again and be less nervous next time.
take the break watch the video and LISTEN
but that is provided that you are confident with the tricky questions READ EACH ONE TWICE so you dont assume and get one stupidly wrong like i did lol
