Sorry your CD didn't work. I'd be on to the how2become people demanding recompense straight away.

As for practicing for this test. I think it's a difficult one to practice for. In my opinion this is one thing that cannot be trained. Either you see things or you don't. It's just the way the link between your eyes-brain work.

I certainly feel it's not like other skills (such as motor/memory/coordination) that can be trained. Possibly its something that could be done over months/years, but definitely not something you can improve on by tuesday.

They aren't looking for hawk-eye vigilance, just enough for you to be safe.

Use the material they have provided so you know what to expect.

The computer test you take is easier than looking at the photos on paper.

Only other tip is that be careful of the differentiation/definition of bicycle/motorbike/motor vehicle on the options provided.

Ok thanks very much,

I'm cautiously confident anyway as many people have been saying these computer tests aren't as harsh as they're made out to be. I just really hope I csn get through this and the MMI

The very similar test is on YouTube, it's the "Vienna test".

This test I found was horrible, 5 of us got through to this part and everyone of us thought we had failed when we came out. We all passed. The time u get is so quick u are lucky to see anything lol. My advice I gave to friends who recently done it is lights, as a train driver the signals are one of the most important things u will see, if u see any traffic lights in the picture this is what they want to know. Obviously they never tell you this but it makes sense
