iTheory Hazard Perception Test

Good app with plenty of free videos. You can see straight away if you have tapped screen at right time with a green flag, if it’s wrong time it’s orange. This app lets you click as often as you like to learn where to click for maximum points but doing that in the real test would result in a fail. Also one of the clips doesn’t count a hazard as a hazard. There are 2 hazards in the clip but it only scores you on one. It’s one where a dog is in the road causing cars to stop and a person crosses the road. You only get marked on the person crossing the road so for some strange reason a dog in middle of the road isn’t a hazard.

The app UI is very simple and easy to navigate, videos are very good and are similar to the ones you would find the in the real test. Helped me pass with 61/75. The trick to help achieve the highest points for each clip is to a click when you notice the hazard, just before it happens and also whilst its happening, so in total 3 times (you dont lose points if you click at the wrong time however dont spam). Goodluck

This app will help you practise for your hazard perception test however it will infuriate you whilst doing so. My first problem is the adverts. Clearly this app was made to make money as there is an advert before pretty much every video. The videos themselves are what you can expect in the actual test but they are terrible in the sense that one of them keeps freezing just before you're meant to "click" to point out the hazard. Other times I have had to re-do several videos as it has just been a blank screen. Another problem is that some of the videos give away what you're looking for in the title, for example; cyclist, train, van and tractor. It's hard to ignore once you've seen. Also the scoring system needs to be looked at again as I have pressed when I have noticed something and been "too quick" and missed out on 5 stars. With a little bit of care this app could be really good but until then you can find others that do the same thing with less ads.
