Booked theory test but just realised the book a friend has given me says test questions till end of 2011..
Should I get a new book and is there anything else I should read. Thank you. Doing C1 as I got the prov put on my licence ages ago and if I change it to C I might have to have another medical and it will take time.
 
I did mine early on this year and used a book which was a couple of years older to revise with. 90% of the questions that came up on the exam were written word for word and the odd couple of 'newer' ones were just written in a slightly different way but none of it was information that I hadnt learnt.

It depends on how you learn but I felt I learnt better by doing mock exams and questions on the internet more helpful than sitting and reading and trying to absorb it all. I ust kept doing practice test after practice test until I had done that many I knew every question it was going to throw at me!

This is quite good - it comes up with 50 random questions each time http://www.2pass.co.uk/mocktheorylgvtest.htm

The DSA have produced new theory books across the board which contain the same info but no Q&As
The test at the theory test centre remains the same

The only reason you will need another medical is if you have reached the age of 45 then every 5 years

If you have a D4 medical at age say 20 then there is no time limit until age 45
The theory test pass has a 2 year time limit
 
Thank you Rog but thought if I wanted to change my C1 prov[ which I have had on my license for 10 years but never got round to doing anything] to a C they might want me to have the medical again and our horsebox is only 7.5 so don't mind doing just that one. I have done the online 2 sample tests without learning anything and got 43/50 and 42/50. The questions I got wrong were the tacho ones and sheeting ones and clutch/engine/ diesel ones so need to learn about those things.
Test is next Thursday so lots of learning to do.
Then will have an assessment and training asap

This is a strange one .... if you only ticked for C1 provisional then the current medical covers just that so a new medical will be needed for C
If you ticked for C1 and/or C then the medical will cover C1 and C
Pass C1 if that is the only provisional listed now and no new medicals will be needed for any other LGV test

The pre 97 C1s are expiry dated for 70 years of age and at that age a D4 medical will be required and will last for 3 years

C1s gained by passing a DSA test come under the other medical rules I mentioned earlier


For others reading - ALWAYS tick C & D (nothing else) on the D2 form
