L Plates At The Ready

Yes the L Plates are making another appearance I think it is about time I get my act together & revise this theory so I can actually get on the road. Now don't get me wrong I am all for saving the environment & reducing the amount of vehicles on the roads but when you have 3 children & 2 of them require a pram doing the shopping & school run is a nightmare especially when the school run is a grand total of 3 to 3.5 hours from start to finish as my son goes to school in the next town. 
So yes I would love to be able to go places without a full blown explosion of public humiliation when the toddler goes on one or the stress of 50 shopping bags falling of my pram in the street, paying out of this world taxi fares & so much more.

Anyway I took my theory test about 9 months ago now & failed by one point not ten or six just point I was disheartened to say the least, although I didn't do any revision & had hardly any sleep so what could I expect really??? Well now I am going to attempt it again but this time I have a plan, yes you read correctly a plan I said (very simple but a plan none the less). 

I have already booked my theory test I did it on the 17th of this month & booked it in for the 31st of this month meaning I only have around two weeks to revise & learn all I can. So I shall take two online mock tests every day leading up to the actual test this way I can see what I am getting wrong & learn what I need to that way & fingers crossed this shall work! I am also going to replace my son Jack's reading book with the Highway Code that way he is leaning it as well as me, sounds like a good plan to me so far I just really hope it work.

I shall keep a record of my scores to see what my progress is like as well so fingers crossed & wish me luck & remember I need 43/50 to pass The Multiple Choice Test & 44/75 to pass the Hazards Perception Test.

Mock Test One - 38/50
Mock Test Two - 37/50
Hazards Perception - PASSED

Not happy with this attempt as after seeing the answers I got incorrect I actually knew some of the answers but hesitated I should have gone with my gut feeling. Although I have passed the hazards perception part, oh well better look tomorrow.  

Monday 21st July 2014

Mock Test One - 43/50 (PASSED)
Mock Test Two - 37/50
Hazards Perception - PASSED

Oh yes I only would have passed my driving theory test if this had been a really go on the mock test one but sadly not the mock test two, so pleased with my little self as again I also passed the hazards perception part of the test as well. Lets see how I get on tomorrow. 

Tuesday 22nd July 2014

Mock Test One - 40/50
Mock Test Two - 43/50 (PASSED)
Hazards Perception - PASSED

So pleased that's another pass oh Iv'e impressed myself! I still need to complete all the mock tests though as I am given different questions on each test.

Wednesday 23rd July 2014

Mock Test One - 49/50 (PASSED)
Mock Test Two - 38/50
Hazards Perception - PASSED

Like oh my gosh 49 what the heck is that all about??? Talk about impressing my little self whoop whoop (big massive smiley face)
All I can think about is how great it will be to actually past the really thing but knowing my luck I will probably have a bad day & get all the answers wrong.

Thursday 24th July 2014

Mock Test One - 44/50 (PASSED)
Mock Test Two - 43/50 (PASSED)
Hazards Perception - PASSED

Feeling a little better about going to do my test now I know my score is just passing but it is a pass at the end of the day which is better than a fail, but still need more practice I think.

Friday 25th July 2014

Mock Test One - 39/50
Mock Test Two - 43/50 (PASSED)
Hazards Perception - PASSED 

I am starting to get a little too confident so think I should give the tests a break I don't want to overload my brain weather this is a good idea or not that will be soon seen.


*****(THE BIG DAY) Thursday 31st July 2014 (TEST DAY)*****

Well that's it done I managed to PASS the Hazards Perception BUT sadly FAILED the Multiple Choice Questions by one mark I got 42/50 I only needed 43 GUTTED GUTTED GUTTED!!! (exactly the same scores as last time)
I found that even though I used 4 different websites to help me revise just to make sure I had a range of different questions for the big test none of the proper test questions was in any of the revision (STRANGE) so I guess I will just need to re-book in & take it again fingers crossed & any help or advise please feel free to send it my way but for now public transport is the way forwards (EXTREMELY sad face right now).
