    3 out of 5 stars Helpful amount of data spoilt by the interface   August 28, 2008
     1 out of 2 found this review helpful

    I passed my test before the theory test and suchlike were introduced, and passed my Advanced Driving test a year ago. I've always wondered what the new tests entailed and just how the various software packages are supposed to assist.
    First of all, it does have an enormous amount of data within it, presented quite well. The description of the contents by the manufacturer gives an exhaustive list of what you will find within it.
    The problems I had with it were mainly regarding the interface. It didn't appear to be possible to minimise it once the software was running, and the only way I could interrupt the video snippets was by terminating it via Task Manager - not the friendliest option I've ever used. In addition I found the sound effects used whenever a selection was made extremely tiresome after a short period of time, but that is easily remedied by switching the speakers off.
    It also attempts to sell car insurance somewhere within it. It loses one star just for that - I expect such software to be completely neutral for such a subject.
    The descriptions of most signs and hazards are quite accurate, but some are a little off the mark, althought I doubt they are so wrong as to fail a standard DSA test (the Advanced Test would be another matter). For example, a green traffic light doesn't mean 'go', it means 'You may go if the way is clear. Take special care if you intend to turn left or right and give way to pedestrians who are crossing'.
    At the price it is, get it for someone learning to drive, as it does add another element to their studying, but make sure they don't use it as their totem - the instructor is the person that really matters.



    5 out of 5 stars A very handy tool   August 28, 2008
     2 out of 2 found this review helpful

    Since I passed my driving test 22 years ago there have been changes to driving law and the Highway Code, and I think the driving test has also been made tougher. Like most people I regard myself as a good driver, but I couldn't resist trying this software to check whether I really was as good as I thought.
    Having gone through the various parts of Driving Test Success program I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how well it has been done. It installed onto the computer easily, then proved easy to use after going through the short instructional video clips. The actual instruction and tests were realistic, as well as entertaining enough to actually want to carry on and do more.
    Considering that this pack costs less than the price of one hour's tuition with a driving instructor it has to be worth the investment as an aid to learning to drive. It even comes with a pair of magnetic 'L' plates!

    Using Driving Test All Tests Deluxe 2008-09 edition

    I bought this software / pass your driving test package for my sister for her 2nd attempt at her driving test. The highlighted those areas where her weakness effected her 1st pass attempt and bolstered her good knowledge gained from her initial test studying.

    She found all sections of the software a great help especially the tests, which she could repeat to the bring her knowledge / practical confidence to the point of guaranteeing a pass.

    She passed with flying colours and commented that she did not find the 2nd test stressful as she did the 1st.

    Prepare yourself with Using Driving Test All Tests Deluxe 2008-09 edition and you too can be a FULL UK driver very soon.



    5 out of 5 stars excellent and really useful   August 27, 2008
     1 out of 1 found this review helpful

    This is one of the most useful DVDs I have ever owned. The amount of information available is mind-blowing. For me, the most important part was the theory test, I have never come across so many questions regarding driving that I did know anything about. After taking a few virtual tests, I started to feel more confident as I still do not have a license, and planning to get one. The Hazard Perception test is also great, with hundreds of small simulation clips that definitely help a lot. The video quality is not great, but it is still clear. The audio is very good, no problems at all there. You can easily spend not only hours, but days learning all the stuff that is in here. This edition also comes with a an extra DVD to cover road signs, and free magnetic learner signs. I think the best feature of all, is that you can get the audio files on your mp3 player, and listen to them on the go. This is fab, and will always keep you focus on passing the scary driving test. This is a must buy for everyone who wants to learn how to drive, it establishes a very good ground for you to build on, and even if you already have a license, it is never a bad idea to refresh your knowledge. Real value for money, runs smoothly on windows, very comprehensive, and valuable. Worth every penny, a purchase you will not regret.

    I requested this software for my 17 year old daughter who has just started driving lessons. We are both so impressed with the help it is being and at the simplicity to install and use the lessons. Already her confidence has been boosted by the improvements she has made on the Hazard Perception and Theory tests. The question bank is extensive and has been a great help in pointing out gaps in her driving knowledge. This is a brilliant product, not only for learner drivers, but also expereienced drivers can use it to refresh their skills.
