Where can you find theory test classes in Sligo?

Vlove

Failed my first theory test and want to improve more by going to classes that would be ongoing once a week in the evening as I would have college during the day. Does anyone have any idea where in Sligo town or outside of sligo like colloney, Ballisodare,etc? Thanks

Not sure there is a such a thing. Just need to read up on your ROTR book, use the DVD, learn by the road signs/markings/traffic light sequences/car light signals when your out and about, know your hand signals, and have an idea of the breaking distances.

TBH, all a class will probably tell you is what each sign, and road markings mean, most of which are self explanatory, and explane some of the above.

The test centre might be your best bet to ask in.

Ah right, yeah I was thinking of the DVD as I have the book. I reasearched in google which showed only showed that Gills driving school includes it but its unfortunately in Mayo so thats why I'm asking around to find these things. I bet Dublin has lots and we never hear them lol

Your driving instructer will go through ROTR with you, and basic car maintenance, as you will be asked questions by the examiner on the day of your driving test. However to have a driving lesson, you need to have the theory done.

Yeah that's the problem and it puts me off doing another theory test with the money and the test itself! I just want to pop into a place with a group of people that are on the same boat as me or on my own and get a driving instuctor to teach us the rules of the road like the original theory test. It would be so handy if it was nearby!

One way or other it's going to cost you! Another failed test or get instruction.
I'd ring a driving instructor and get one sit down lesson concentrating on the theory only. Many of the questions can seem to have two correct answers so if you pick the wrong one again..............
Cheapest is the dvd or phone app. but it's your call!

I don't doubt the costing (such a rip off but anyway), ill do that then so if there ain't no other option I would have to do! Anyways thanks everyone and other answers are welcome as well

The app kind of simulates the exam itself and will get a result at the end. There are no limits to how often you use it. Its also free.

The app. and the dvd both give you countless exams to test you. But the result can show how good or bad you are at guessing the answer.
I think the op is looking to understand why you should give a specific answer.

Just study for the theory test. It is the easiest test you will ever take.

I totally agree that both can be used that way. Theory should always be studied before taking tests.
But op could also run them, write down the questions and go study. Its kind of the way I do my studying for my exams (which has worked so far fingers crossed).
The advantage of apps are that they can be updated with changes etc.

Dead right, it's the only way. I've done the dvd test just for fun and noticed a few questions you really need to study carefully as 2 answers can seem more or less the same thing, just worded differently.
Probably to catch out the guessers!
