 Excellent tool to hopefully help you pass.... September 10, 2008

First off, I gave the software to a relative who was studying for her theory/practical car test. Her view is that the software is great easy to install and easily accessible. In particular she found the Hazard Perception and Theory tests of great use. The questions pretty much covered all aspects that need to be covered. The nice thing is that it also gives you confidence in the theory test as the questions are very similar, it's just the wording that differs. She found that what she did in the driving test software, 80% was in her theory test(she did say she felt it may have been higher). She has been reading the books but she finds the software was much more precise and clear and also the fact that at the end of the day you will be sitting next to a computer. So, this reflected reality.
If anything if you have a test, then this software is essential. Obviously, this only helps the theory and as long as you have a great instructor you will be fine. She personally had to change from sub-standard instructors(who were in it for the money) to BSM which she said made a big difference to her driving.
Overall, a definite buy recommendation

I requested this software for my 17 year old daughter who has just started driving lessons. We are both so impressed with the help it is being and at the simplicity to install and use the lessons. Already her confidence has been boosted by the improvements she has made on the Hazard Perception and Theory tests. The question bank is extensive and has been a great help in pointing out gaps in her driving knowledge. This is a brilliant product, not only for learner drivers, but also expereienced drivers can use it to refresh their skills.
An excellent guide to driving theory. September 6, 2008

After friends had recommended using a CD-Rom to help with my driving test, I practised using this guide which was extremely helpful. It contains a lot of useful information which I felt did help me pass my driving theory test. It seems more focused towards the theory rather than practical aspect of the test so if you have already passed the theory section I'm not sure whether this would really provide much more help with the practical element, although it would be good for revising different aspects of driving and techniques, although personally I don't think it's quite the same as actually driving and that's where your time is probably better spent.
But the theory section is covered incredibly comprehensively and was basically my sole preparation for the test, which I did pass first time. The test is divided into two main parts, the first is driving theory questions and the second is hazard perception testing. The driving theory questions were excellent, and exactly the same as those used in the official test- a lot of them had the exact same wording and diagrams used. I was actually shocked when I sat the test that it was so similar to those on the disc. If you were to spend some time every day practising the questions, learning the right answers, and then eventually test yourself using only the hard questions, then the actual test, which has a mix of hard and easy questions, will seem easy. It also explains the reasoning behind the answers which makes it much easier to remind the correct answer in future.
The second part, hazard perception, is similarly well explored with dozens of examples for you to try, but unfortunately by its very nature it is a harder task to complete than answering multiple choice questions. I actually had trouble understanding how the test works, but even being able to try it a few times and understand how it works and how to score highly was a great help for the actual test, and I'm not sure I would have passed unless I had become familiar with how it works from using this disc. It's just the type of task that relies on reactions and understanding so it can depend on the actual clip you are faced with in your proper test, but again practising on this disc will make the actual test seem much, much easier and greatly increase your chances of passing.
As I mentioned earlier, there are also videos going over driving technique and manoeuvres which are helpful for revision, but just not as useful as the theory elements as they are the type of material that you will cover with a driving instructor and which you need to actually practise with a car rather than simply watching these videos, but they are still useful for the occasional viewing just to reinforce good driving practice. I would definitely recommend this package to anyone who is working to pass their driving test, as it is very detailed and informative, making passing much easier, and is also excellent valure for money. It also includes two 'L' plates to place on your car when driving which was a nice unexpected bonus.

This is one of the most useful DVDs I have ever owned. The amount of information available is mind-blowing. For me, the most important part was the theory test, I have never come across so many questions regarding driving that I did know anything about. After taking a few virtual tests, I started to feel more confident as I still do not have a license, and planning to get one. The Hazard Perception test is also great, with hundreds of small simulation clips that definitely help a lot. The video quality is not great, but it is still clear. The audio is very good, no problems at all there. You can easily spend not only hours, but days learning all the stuff that is in here. This edition also comes with a an extra DVD to cover road signs, and free magnetic learner signs. I think the best feature of all, is that you can get the audio files on your mp3 player, and listen to them on the go. This is fab, and will always keep you focus on passing the scary driving test. This is a must buy for everyone who wants to learn how to drive, it establishes a very good ground for you to build on, and even if you already have a license, it is never a bad idea to refresh your knowledge. Real value for money, runs smoothly on windows, very comprehensive, and valuable. Worth every penny, a purchase you will not regret.
 Good, but there are issues August 12, 2009

I liked the software generally, but with reservations.
1. Many of the mp3s created ¨jump¨ or crackle, terrible when you have headphones on.
2. The hazard perception videos are not too clear, sometimes so bright you can't see anything at all.
3. The mock exam stopped marking the scores for the hazard perception after 3rd time I used it - I can still take and see the points, but it won't give me the analysis of performance.
4. The road sign cd was, how do I put this lightly... it was bad(not that I think it is necessary anyway). The resolution was bad, the whole thing did not look good, and if I wanted a game, I'd have bought one.
