hazard perception test hints

Hi,

I have my theory test on Tuesday, and need lots of help with the perception test.

I can consistently get 35-35 on the mock tests on the multiple choice so aren't worried about that, but from cold I've *never* pbutted a mock perception test.

3 days of staring at blurry low resolution AVI clips is sending my eyes funny. It seems to get 5 in most of these you have to be able to be clairvoyant - for example there's a clip with a cyclist riding in from the left... you can't even see the cyclist even on stillframe until the scoring has hit 3 - he's lost in the background pixellation. There's one of a woman with a stick crossing - during the scoring window the smudge of pixels hasn't yet resolved into anything distinguishable from the actual road.

According to the software documentation (the software is called 'pbutt your driving and theory test' by GSP) these are official theory test clips - so I don't expect any better resolution on the day (except blown up fullscreen, so it'll be worse).

Spencer It's hard not to click once a second... I tend to fall into patterns with stuff like that. I'll see if I can try the half a second-second thing. I've spend...

I went the other way, clicking when any hazard looked like it might possibly develop, and scored 0 because it thought I was cheating. I've always been crap at arcade games...

Any hints? Or should I just cancel and save my fee? A couple of months practice I might get it right.. OTOH I've memorised all the practice clips now (done them all about 20 times.. still get zero on some that I think are just mislabled) so it's not a true test... will need to source a lot more if I'm to get this right... know of a good source of practice clips?
