The Complete Hazard Perception Test New Edition

Very good practice material! Really helped me on my test (I scored 62 out of 75). The only down side is that it does not have the same "cheating detecting" system as the DVLA...I developed the habit of clicking several times for the same hazard (to be sure I would score for it) when using the software, however in the actual test I scored zero on one clip due to excessive clicking...

I found this guide very useful in the aspects of multiple choice and hazard perception, it has proved a worth-while purchase. However, the small database of hazard perception clips were disappointing, the software also won't penalize you as much for doing things like repeated clicks; something which i found to be a little unrealistic compared to the real test.The only thing that redeems the software is the multiple choice aspects of it which are incredibly useful.

Bought this after I exhausted all the tests on the Driving Test Success All Tests cd. Although there is only 14 clips which are CGi. Its still a good practice disc to have. All the clips when you sit your actual DVSA tests are CGi. This disc and the aforementioned All Tests disc however allow more 'clicks' per clip than the offical test on the day. So be careful with that... I still managed to attain a score of 65 on the day and I beleive it was due to the practive I done with these discs. Highly recommend.

Three main problems:1. Video quality of the clips is very low - 480p or even 360p. The practice clips in the product are real life clips, recorded on a roof-mounted cam of very low quality (not even a dashcam! must have been early 2000s). The low video quality makes developing hazards very difficult to suss out - the hazards will be represented by pixels the size of Scottish isles.2. Clicking tolerance - the actual test will tolerate about 6-7 clicks before disqualifying the clip and scoring you zero; while the practice clips in the product will allow about two dozen clips. This is an example of the product not being fit for purpose.3. Hazard inconsistency - a hazard in one clip will not be a hazard in another. Like the test, the clips will have either one or two hazards in them. However, an event designated as a hazard in one given clip will not be a hazard in another clip. For example, clip A will feature an event of a car pulling out from the left at a roundabout, forcing you to slow down - this is the hazard you're scored on in clip A. Then moving on to clip B, a car pulling out from the left at a roundabout forcing you to slow will NOT count as a hazard - the hazard will be another event. This is a consequence of the clips being recorded from actual driving - the clips aren't tailored to represent only one hazard or two (that's just not how real life is). Recurring examples are parked cars forcing a lane change, cars pulling out from the left at roundabouts, cars nosing out from the left at intersections. This inconsistency trains you to click hesitantly - in other words, late, reducing your score; or even worse, trains you to click for every little thing - which in the actual test will disqualify you and net you zero points.

I got 40 only on the Hazard on my first attempt at the Theory, as I clicked before the scoring window opened for 5 of the hazards so got 0 for these. I scored 5 for 5 hazards, 4 for 2 hazards, 3 for 1 hazard, 2 for 2 hazards... and I knew I had spotted every single one of them, and only a couple of them late (the ones where I got 3 and 2). My instructor also thought I must have clicked too early, and not enough. I bought this DVD, trained for 2 weeks (a couple of hours) and got 62 when I retook the test! 2 weeks later I took the theory again (this time for car, earlier one was for motorbike) and I got 65!Advice: on the real test you can click on every single hazard without being eliminated, and several times on the developing hazard, to maximise the chances of getting a 5. Don't be afraid to click too much. I managed about 10 clicks on both the tests I passed, without getting eliminated. Even if you did get eliminated for one clip, the 5s you would score on the other clips would more than make up for it.

This disc contains the same 14 CGI clips as the standard disc. That's why it only gets 2 stars. I felt a bit conned when I realised.
