Passed today, thanks to the many tips/info provided by this web page and a few others!!

Knowledge test was alright as long as you have familiarised yourself with the handbook, stats summaries, or pages such as these.

For Hazard perception, i thought practicing on http://mylicence.sa.gov.au/hpt was quite valuable and a few of the scenarios were the same. With the 2nd part of HPT as mentioned in the comments before, be overly cautious before making right turns and make sure there is a vey big gap. For overtaking, there were practically no opportunities for me to overtake. For slow downs, dont hesitate to slow down as soon as u see a hazard such as a moving vehicle/person from a side street, oncoming vehicle overtaking moving into ur lane, vehile changing lanes or signalling to turn, or a road sign (i.e for t-junction, or speed signs to drop speed).

Hope this page comes in handy for many future undertakers for this test as it did for me!!

Thank you to all who commented and contributed! I passed the DQT today on my first go

part 1 – very simple common sense style questions.

part 2 – the only thing i want to add to what others have written is something i noticed during a rainy ‘turn right’ scenario. After the waves of cars there wasn’t a car in sight so i touched the screen but just as i tapped the screen I thought i saw a cyclist heading towards me about 50 metres away and then the clip ended. Because the pictures are so pixelated and it was raining, I might have just been seeing things but just putting it out there for those who do come across it. Obviously, if there is a cyclist the best thing to do would be not to tap the screen and I probably got this question wrong.

Once again, thanks to all the contributors!

Just wanted to say a big thank you to all who has contributed to this page ,, went for my DQT and passed first go…
Theory questions fortunetly for me no stats! There were a couple of questions regarding scanning for hazards, who are more prone to accidents male/females, alcohol questions & I had a few pictures which stated what would i do in certain situations.
PART 2
Videos were a few of the ones on the SA DQT site,, had the cyclists, had one when it was raining to turn right DON’T GO !! Definitely remembered what was on this site about no need to overtake on certain videos and make sure a elephant can fit when you make turns, that def is right. You can determine when it is safe to turn right as they are quiet big gaps in certain videos.
For the turning videos I am not sure if I am correct in saying this but I assume it’s probably best regardless of the distance you may have to the other vehicle to not to go rather than to make a unsafe turn. Dn’t think you can fail for not making turn but going unsafely will make you fail.
Having done this def practice the videos ,, get famaliar with those as there were quiet a few which were on SA sites which helped me out heaps as i knew what to do and not do.
Good luck when you go for your DQT!

I passed DQT at the first go today. What I did is just checked out the comments on here and read DQT key point summary. Also I practiced on http://mylicence.sa.gov.au/hpt

Part 1 I had a picture that you were driving 100k/h in the middle lane with 2 trucks making 100k/h as well, where blue truck is on your left and red truck is on your right (broken lines with 3 lane), what would you do? and the options were somethings like:
- speed up to stay in front of blue truck
- stay in your position
- slow down and move behind red truck
- slow down and move behind blue truck
I pick slow down and move behind blue truck which I think is the best answer

Part 2 – I think I was lucky that I got just simple scenarios some of which are on the practice link.

Thanks everybody for helpful comments and I hope everyone will pass the test.
