If you wish your instructor can give you help with your theory test. Many pupils decide they do not need such help and study for the theory test using various methods and study materials. If you are confident you can 'go it alone' then we wish you all the best.
However, even if you choose to do this please feel free to consult your instructor with regards to the best study material available. He/she can also supply the reference books / DVD's at a reasonable cost, or you can obtain them via this web site. (follow link to Books/DVD's)
You may however consider it beneficial to seek help from your instructor, in particular in relation to the Hazard Perception element of the theory test. This is the area in which most pupils have difficulty, and the area in which your instructor is best able to help.
