Following the introduction of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"&gt;independent driving&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; in October, DSA officials announced its plan to stop publishing &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"&gt;the theory test questions and answers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN" style="color: #717171; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 9pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;"&gt;The move will be introduced in an attempt to enhance learner drivers’ understanding of the principles behind &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"&gt;driving theory&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. As you know, DSA is now publishing the multiple choice questions and answers used in &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"&gt;theory test&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. DSA officials believe this to be ineffective practice with learners focusing on memorising right answers instead of understanding them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN" style="color: #717171; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 9pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;"&gt;In September 2011 DSA will change learning materials for &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"&gt;theory test&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, adding more sophisticated case studies. Then, from January 2012, DSA will introduce &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"&gt;theory tests&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; using questions which will not be available to learners.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN" style="color: #717171; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 9pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;"&gt;Will this push the pass rate down?
