New theory test books published

New official driving and riding theory books will be published this month to help candidates revise in preparation for changes to the test in January 2012.

Since theory tests began in 1996, the (DSA) has published the questions and answers for all categories of tests for cars, motorcycles, lorries and buses.

However, DSA announced last November that it was to stop publishing questions and answers, with unpublished questions being used from January 2012.

DSA said: “The reason behind the move is to stop candidates from simply memorising questions and answers and learning by rote. The new books contain questions and answers for revision and also explain the theory behind each question.

“This approach to learning will help candidates to gain a better knowledge and understanding of driving theory which will help them respond correctly to the new, re-worded live questions used in the actual test.”

Other theory test products will be published shortly after the theory test books are published on 19 September.

The agency has also launched its first ever mobile phone apps for theory test revision, which have been developed to help candidates learn in this way
