To be honest, I never studied much for mine either and ended up with 38 out of 40.

Most of it is common sense, just make sure you take note of braking distances etc. as they're probably the only thing you'll get wrong without study.

Have you got the Theory Test CD? Might be an idea to take a few sample tests first.

I had my theory test at 9am the morning after the missus gave birth to my daughter, after she was 15 hours in labour!!!!! half asleep and drunk doing the test, i still got 38 out of 40. Nothing to worry about.

Afaik its a bit of a swindle, I know too many people that got 34, 35 being the pass rate...

Yup.
He failed the actual driving part of the test aswell about a month back.Maybe it's an indication that as easy as the Test seems the common sense used to pass the theory part is needed in practice aswell.

When I was going in for mine, a girl in the waiting room told me she had failed
it twice before

Then, it turned out that 3rd time wasnt lucky as she forgot to bring any
identification or reference numbers with her at all and so wasnt allowed sit it.

I was more worried when I realised that she actually drove in herself
