Customer Reviews

I was not happy with this DVD
I bought this DVD as my partner had a previous version last year, and he passed the test. So I bought this one again but with a latest version.

But I am not really happy with it, the picture is not clear at all, for example, I cannot see the car's breaking lights or indictor, so of course I cannot respond as quickly as I can. It was really depressing for me, and I thought it was my own problem....

Anyway, I don't like.

A good buy
I have just taken my test (April 2008) and this software combined with the DSA theory test book helped me pass with no problems at all.
Lots of clips and mock exams and you will find that after trying a few you start to get the feel of when you should be clicking, and how many times. The actual DSA test clips are slower, so you will probably find the actual test easier. That said, my final score in the exam was very similar to the ones I got on the dvd, which was in the 60's.
If you're not sure about what to expect on the hazard perception then you should buy this.

A very useful aid - but some of the video clips are grainy in places!
I've been driving for 15 years, so I gained my car licence before the theory and hazard perception tests were introduced. Now, I am working towards obtaining my motorbike licence, so I purchased this as an aid for the hazard perception part of the theory test.

The software is well laid out and includes lots of bonus material explaining how the test works and includes driving with commentary from serving Police drivers.

My only gripe is that some of the video clips are extremely grainy in places - you're unsure if what you see in the distance is a hazard, or an artifact introduced as a result of the video compression (Cwmpencraig 2 is a particular example).

I do hope that the video clips used in the real DSA test are of higher resolution than the clips in this DVD.
