Theory Test Changes from 23rd January 2012 

 

 

Whats going to happen?

Since theory tests began in 1996, the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) has published the questions and answers from the question banks for all categories of tests for cars, motorcycles, lorries and buses.

However, DSA announced last November that it was to stop publishing the multiple choice questions and answers, with unpublished questions being used from 23rd January 2012.

DSA’s chief executive Rosemary Thew said: “The reason behind the move is to stop candidates from simply memorising theory test questions and answers and learning by rote. The new books contain questions and answers for revision and also explain the theory behind each question.

“This approach to learning will help candidates to gain a better knowledge and understanding of driving theory which will help them respond correctly to the new, re-worded live questions used in the actual test.”

 

What will happen with my current training material like CDs, Books and Apps etc?

You can still use them however you need to remember the Question and Answers you have in your material maybe be worded different on the test.

 

What can I do?

Firstly don’t panic! All you have to do is try and learn the theory of driving rather then trying to remember questions and answers. Our courses where design for this so why not give us a go and be safe.
