What needs translating it looks pretty straight forward to me

I have and it seems fine to me as its a title of a section giving you a clue as to what it's about.

I most certainly didn't, but I knew a sh** load more than 20%.

I would suspect that it is a section of questions based on handling the vehicle you drive and situations you may come across involving other types of vehicles on the road. I'm sure the person that took the test would be best placed to confirm what was in the section as they got 80% on the subject :wink:

I'm still learning after 13+ years. But I got 94% on the knowledge test. That meant I knew what I had to know to start and then I started the real learning.


At least you know where the coffee shop is :D

Only been given a snippet of paper with it on, I'm sure there was more information available to explain each section and it wasn't just a guess, it was an educated guess :wink:

I support the testing but the test questions and groups should relate to the information on the test supplied to applicants, its a £250 fee and they shouldnt be aiming at failures just so the get £40 for a retest...

The council info pack front page has (at first glance) sections bearing no relationship to the 1st 4 marked in the results

Most courses will have sections A/B/C/D that are shown as A/B/C/D in the results

Result section 7 had 5 questions on the biggest part (70%) of the council licence/vehicle conditions
