     "Lee was always extremely patient, supportive as well as making a calm and comfortable environment. Especially with college and work it was important for me to have a flexible instructor, and Lee always took this into account, especially when it came to around the time of my test when i was hoping for more of his time. I would like to say a huge Thankyou to Lee for all of his time and commitment to his job, and helping me pass first time :)"

     " When I originally started learning to drive I decided to choose a well known driving school, I found it incredibly impersonal and as if they were holding me back to earn more from my student loan. Until I found Passlee where the lessons where affordable and had a real personal friendly touch, it was wonderful to have an instructor who took the time to understand his students and what their individual learning styles were. I gained confidence with every lesson and instead of just passing my test I learnt how to drive."

     " I had only had 6 lessons with Lee, after failing my driving test twice (not with Lee), but these 6 lessons, were the more funniest times of my life. Lee is a brilliant instructor, who is really relaxed and laid back, but is focused on the job and helped me to succeed and pass! With a quirky personality, it's hard not to love him and he defiantly makes the lesson fly so fast! "

     "I found the lesson's through a friend, they were recommended. Lesson's with Lee.. The car was nice to drive, instruction was easy to follow with a relaxed atmoshere, if there were area's of weakness they were practiced until test standard. Lee is understanding if you are struggling with a particular section, and they were a good price."

     " Learning to drive with Lee was one of the best things i could have done. He always makes you feel confident even when you cut people up and nearly kill him :) which is good. But seriously Lee has a really laid back attitude, but also puts you straight when you are going wrong. Which makes learning with him not only effective, but fun at the same time. I passed, and intend to do my pass plus with him. Book a lesson with him while you can!!! You WILL NOT regret it! "

    "Choosing PassLee Driving School to teach me to drive was a brilliant choice. Lee's lessons were excellent! Well -structured, very good fun but most of all you left each one feeling like you were one step closer to passing your test and being a driver. I have a very busy working life and the flexibillity of times available for lessons was fantastic! Most important of all when I passed my test I knew I was ready to drive on my own. I would ( and will ) recommend him to anybody that is looking to learn to drive. Thanks Lee for your patience"

    "I tried two instructors before finding PassLee Driving School online and each of the told me I would have to have 30 lessons before I could pass. With PassLee I was up to pass standard within just 15 lessons because of the relaxed and individual nature of the lessons. For me personally it was the best fit for me to learn how to drive and pass as soon as possible"

The New Theory Test 2012

 

What’s changing in the Theory Test, and when?

 

From 1st January 2012, the Driving Standards Agency is making changes to the UK driving Theory Test. From this date onwards, the DSA will add new multiple-choice Theory Test questions to the test. The DSA will not let anyone publish these new Theory Test questions, so they will not appear in any product, nor on any website. However, the DSA will continue to release official DSA Theory Test revision questions, and these will be published in all Driving Test Success products.

What’s the difference between DSA revision questions and the “real” Theory Test questions?

Simply that the “real” DSA Theory Test questions will, from 1st January 2012, start to include new questions that will not be published.

How many official DSA revision questions are published in Driving Test Success All Tests?

It depends on which vehicle licence is being applied for, but approximately 1,000 Theory Test questions.

So if a pupil takes a test before 1st January 2012, the revision questions in Driving Test Success will be the same as the ones I’ll be asked in the Theory Test?

Yes they will. The DSA will only start introducing new, unpublished questions from 1st January 2012.

Is the second part of the Theory Test, the Hazard Perception Test, changing too?

No, the Hazard Perception Test will not change at all. You should use a revision aid that accurately and interactively simulates the DSA Hazard Perception Test, such as Driving Test Success from Focus Multimedia.

Will the DSA be adding more Theory Test questions from 1st January 2012?

No, the structure of the Theory Test isn’t changing. For car drivers there will still be 50 multiple choice Theory Test questions, including 5 case study questions, and then Part Two consists of 14 Hazard Perception Test questions.

Why is the DSA changing the Theory Test?

The DSA has decided, after taking advice from organisations including UK driving schools, that it wants to discourage learners from “learning by rote“. This will, the DSA feels, lead to a better understanding of the actual study materials, in particular the Highway Code.

Do I need to get any practice for the new 2012 Theory Test?

Yes, it’s as important as ever to get plenty of practice before sitting the driving Theory Test. In fact, very little will change when it comes to preparing for the new 2012 Theory Test. We recommend that as a candidate you should:

  • Study the Highway Code and gain a thorough understanding of it. A digital version of the Highway Code is included in all Driving Test Success products.
  • Use a reliable, up-to-date Theory Test practice tool like Driving Test Success All Tests (available for PC and DVD) or Driving Test Success Online. Focus Multimedia’s revision aids closely mirror the real DSA test, providing you with a chance to answer revision questions under realistic exam conditions. They also include the official DSA “knowledge and understanding” text, which offers explanations of the answers. By getting plenty of practice with Driving Test Success, a learner will understand how the test works, become more familiar with the kind of questions that will be asked, and have a better understanding of the subject matter.
  • Try the interactive sample case study questions included with Driving Test Success. You will still be asked 5 case study questions as part of your Theory Test multiple choice element, so it’s important to understand how this section is structured.
  • Attempt as many interactive Hazard Perception Test video questions as possible, to prepare for the second part of the Theory Test. Driving Test Success products contain a huge amount of interactive Hazard Perception video clips.

Which revision products do you recommend?

Focus Multimedia has been publishing interactive driving test revision products since 1997. We recommend you view the full range and choose the product you think is best for you.
