With 34/35 on the theory (pass mark 30) and 53/75 on the hazard perception (pass mark 44). Yay me!!
The hazard perception clips turned out to be much shorter and less complex than the software package I was using to prepare with. I did over-click on one and thus scored zero points for it, and somehow managed to completely miss a major hazard on another one--I have no idea how I did that! I now have two years in which to pass my practical test before the theory pass expires. I have a feeling that Sarah will want me to book my test quite soon....
Despite the attempts of the office staff to brighten up the testing centre with bright clothes and vases of flowers, it's quite a dismal and intimidating place. The waiting room was full of pale, twitchy people, some of whom shook like a leaf as they walked to their computer stations...by the time they'd completed their tests, some were shaking even harder and others had finally brightened up. On my way out of the center, a great weeping and wailing started up behind me; a kid, I suppose barely 17, had failed her test for the third time running, and was screeching at her boyfriend that she never wanted to drive, and it was all his fault etc etc. This continued all the way to the ground floor, with everyone carefully keeping their faces blank. The poor sod was trying to say soothing things to her, but sadly for him, she only shrieked louder with each word he uttered. A shrewish wife in the making, I suspect.
