Does the job 18 Dec 2008
I revised this for a few hours a day for about 4 days and passed the theory and hazard perception easily, don't buy any of the other discs, this has exactly the same layout and questions as the real test.

It was rather disapponting that there was a huge difference between the usefulness of the two discs.

The Theory Test CD-ROM did exactly what it said on the tin and really did cover every question that I was asked. The format is definitely conducive to learning and after seeing each question once or twice it is easy to achieve above the pass mark on the practice tests provided. Having used the disc I went on to pass this part of my theory test with full marks.

The Hazard Perception disc was, in contrast, severely lacking. There were only ten clips with which to practice - not enough to get a full idea of when to click and how to score the highest points. If I had only used this software before going into my theory test I would not have been so confident of a pass. Therefore I bought the Hazard Perception Driving Test Success DVD-ROM which I couldn't recommend highly enough if you are not fully sure of what to expect. Not only does it offer more clips (400 as opposed to 10!) it also reviews each clip demonstrating the boundary between scoring 1 and 5 on each clip. I went on to pass the Hazard Perception section with a score of 65/75.

If I had known the difference between the usefulness of the discs before my purchase I would have bought the DVLA Theory Test disc only (rather than the pack) along with the Driving Test Success Hazard Perception DVD-ROM.

I thought that with this product being the 'Official DSA' version it would be the best product in this sector of the market. Oh how I was wrong.

The multiple choice disk is excellent and does replicate the real test, but the hazard perception disk is rather awful. You get 14 clips and that's it, not a huge bank of clips that are randomly selected each time you use it like on other products about, that also analyse the clips afterwards with you.

Overall very disappointed, there are other cheaper products such as the Driving Test Success range that are much better for preparing you for the test.

I bought this for my husband who has recently begun learning to drive. He managed to get a date for his theory test quite early and so didn't have long to revise. Read more

Warning!! Get the right version
This review will only be helpful for a limited period, a bit like the theory kit. The DSA keeps adding bits to the theory test: hazard perception, case studies.. Read more

Good content; rubbish software
I've received this product this morning and it is already driving me mad (no pun intended).

I use a typical WinXP computer which usually runs everything with ease. Read more
