I think not.

Now to be honest I have never done a driving theory test in my life because I guess like most of us on here I had passed before it was brought in. However since Mrs Mel is just doing her full motorbike direct access course and even though she has a full car license a theory test is now included, we've had a go at the "example" test on the DSA site, now although I can say I atleast passed both the motorcycle tests on there I was far from perfect and scored 33 and 31 out of 35 (30 is pass mark). I don't think I'm a numptie and I even passed my instructors tests for bikes years ago (but never taught a soul) but it's a bit of an eye opener.

33 - 1 incorrect (choose 1 answer out of 4 and 2 were clearly correct, but which answer did they want? ) and 1 guess!

The one that pissed me off was the "small crack in your helmet" (phnarr phnarr) question. Throw it away bollocks it depends how small it is. The official ACU guide for gold seal helmets is they may be chipped upto a depth of 3 layers of paint, and Arai / Shoei will both check suspected helmets.
