Hard init. I've failed it once, a few years ago. This time I'm studying, I've got 3 books, 'road signs, highway code, the theory test questions' and a dvd with mock exams that I use every evening.
3 weeks to go......

Is this a driving test, or an academic exam?
The theory test is 50 mulitable choice questions and a hazard perception test. The first time I took the test there wasn't the second part, but I just did a mock hazard perception and I got 66% (44% is a pass) so I'm not worried about that part. There's just so much to learn for the other tests, there are 1,200 posiable questions- some are just common sense and some are factual, stopping distances, first aid and stuff about fuel efficency that just have to be learnt. It's quiet expencive so I don't want to be taking it lots!
Do you have anything like it where you are?

I passed my motorcycle test about 5 years ago which included a difficult theory element part of which was some mock hazard awareness test using a crappy video machine. It was totally bizarre, I felt like I was in some 1970's video game. I scraped through even though I spotted most of the hazards - the problem with it is that you have to "click" to recognise the hazard at a specific point, too early and it fails you.

I passed!! :]
I had hte test today, 1pm. I was so nervous, the bus was running late, I couldn't find the building, I didn't recognise 3 of the questions....
But hey it's all okay in the end. It lasts 2 years, so I need to find an instructor now for my practical lessons and take the practical test within the two years.

Yeah, I got that wrong, sorry. It's 44 out of 75 marks from 15 developing hazards;
