PCV theory tests

Today I sat the PCV theory tests, following a day frantically studying the Official DSA theory test book.  Allow two hours for each test they said.  My first was at 9.30, I arrived plenty early after having caught a train in from Exmouth, and I’d finished the multiple choice and hazard perception by 10.30.  I then had to knock about in Exeter, eating, reading random books in Waterstones, and walking aimlessly about the cathedral, whilst on the phone to RMS, until the case study test at 2pm.

I didn’t like the hazard perception test.  I had no idea when I was supposed to be clicking for hazards, so I clicked the mouse every few seconds for good measure.  In one question I was told I’d clicked too many times and would receive zero for that question.  So, I was delighted to find out that I’d somehow managed to gain a score of 73% in this particular test.  Much less than the 100% and 92% scored in the other two, but a pass.  Bring on the bus…
