A common question asked on learner driver and student forums is how much time should be spent on theory test revision? Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s find out\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Working parents and students alike, who are learning to drive, can often be found on forums asking \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcwhat is a good amount of time to set aside for theory test revision?\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re asking because they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re often starved of time, trying to fit in theory test revision around work and the kids or lectures and part-time jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The DVSA recommends that a learner driver should book a theory test online<\/a> <\/strong>and commit to a minimum of 20 hours of theory test revision prior to sitting the exam. Why <\/span>so many hours? Well, bear in mind that the theory test is made up of 50 questions, which are selected, at random, from a bank of 1000.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the questions are random, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no good a learner driver picking 50 questions they can answer because chances are, not all of those questions will appear during their theory test sitting, potentially leading to theory test failure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, every learner driver looking to book a theory test online or nearing their theory test date needs to be prepared for all 1000 questions. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s quite a commitment, hence the reason the DVSA recommends 20 hours of study time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Theory test revision times different for everyone<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

However, 20 hours is only a recommendation. For some, the amount of time put aside for theory test<\/a><\/strong> revision is more, for others it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s less. For working parents and students, the chances are 20 hours is about right, but will take you longer to reach the minimum number of hours due to other commitments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tips for working parents and students<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The best bit of advice we can give you, and this applies to working parents and students, is \u00e2\u20ac\u02dconly do theory test revision when you want to.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do it because you feel like you have too because if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not focused, nothing will sink in.<\/span><\/p>\n

For working parents, we advise setting aside some time on an evening at the weekend or, if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not too tired from your day, a week night evening. We recommend an hour or so and if you stick to this, within three weeks you would be fully prepared for your theory test.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the evening thing is not possible, but your kids are old enough to read, get the family involved. Have your husband\/wife or partner, and the kids, fire theory test questions at you. Making it into a game will help you to retain more as there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s an element of competitiveness as you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to get questions wrong in front of the family.<\/span><\/p>\n

For students, you can incorporate theory test revision<\/a><\/strong> into your general programme of study. When you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not in a lecture at college or university, and you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve completed your coursework tasks, stick around in the library where it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s quiet. Break out the Highway Code<\/a><\/strong> and get revising. Theory test revision is easier to do when you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re already in study mode.<\/span><\/p>\n
