Advantages: Easy to understand results, Digital, Renowned,
Disadvantages: Fiddly, Results do not last long, Expensive

...your husband, and you cannot. It is a major drawback in my opinion. Last but not least, you cannot buy extra test strips, so have to fork out for the whole thing again. If like me you suffered infertility problems you do begrudge spending more money than necessary on tests. If they provided seperate tests, it should reduce the cost as you do not have to buy the digital test reader again. Over all, I do not really recommend. But seeing the words "PREGNANT" after 5 years of trying is the most amazing experience in the world. So, for that reason alone, I would buy it again.... Read review

Advantages: as it says on box,simple, accurate and fast for that need to know question
Disadvantages: none?

...When gazing in bewilderment at the mass of choice of pregnancy tests I finally opted for Predictor. The reasons were several, the box states its as accurate as a doctors test, one simple test (thought it best to keep to as simple as possible with the vital outcome of info that the test would behold), fast (very important) and any time of day (well I wanted to know as soon as I bought the test not wait until morning pee time). Finally, the 2 test box was on offer!! The 2 test box cost £9.99 although this was offer price and I can’t recall how much full price would have been. The test itself was very simple so on this count the box was true to its word. The back of the box itself contained all the instructions you needed, although I did force myself to read ALL the blurb on the lengthy instruction leaflet inside more out... Read review

Advantages: Unmistakeable results in less than 3 minutes.
Disadvantages: Cost

...was pregnant my husband was convinced there was not a line there whilst I was convinced there was so we were in a kind of limbo until we tested again a few days later and got a much darker line. All Clearblue tests are 99% accurate so you can be pretty sure you have the right result. They are even more sensitive than the tests done by your doctor and most doctors will take your word for it that you are pregnant if you have had a positive result from a home pregnancy test. The instructions are well written and very easy to follow using diagrams and there is a question and answer section on the back if anything needs clarification. There is a care line number should you need any confidential advice and you can get more information form the Clearblue website at www.clearblue.info. As mentioned before they are available from Boots but are also... Read review

Advantages: Challenging
Disadvantages:

...If you feel like challenging your mind then this is a good show to do that. Testing your number and word skills. And with the Countdown cunumdrom ( Carol did i spell that right?...!) at the end where you have to beat the clock and find the anagram. A enjoyable show with plesent presenters.Im not really a person for gameshow but this can be quite a addictive show if you get into it. On at a good viewing time also. Can be quite a educational program also. But you may think a show like this can sound boring but countdoown is quiet the opposite and can be a enjoyable show.... Read review

Advantages: pack contains 3 tests, easy to use
Disadvantages: quite expensive as you can't buy the 3 tests separately

...tests to choose from however, all claiming to be or 'over 99% accurate' or 'results in minutes'. I made my buying decision based on my budget, value for money of the test, how easy it sounded to use and whether you could use it straight away or had to wait till the next morning. So in the end I chose the clearblue digital pregnancy test. It is packed in a cardboard packaging, contains 3 tests and a list of really easy to understand instructions which displays pictures as well as words. There are 3 separate cartridges in the pack but only one main display unit. To take this test you have to unwrap one of the cartridges, follow the instructions carefully (if you don't you could end up with an innacurate result), insert the cartridge into the part of the test which contains the display unit, then do the usual sample. When I took... Read review

Advantages: Clear blue was clear to read
Disadvantages: it is more expensive

...minutes of looking at an Egg timer icon we were staring at the word 'PREGNANT' on the LCD screen. What a lovely Christmas present. The Clear Blue digital test said on the box that it could detect pregnancy as early as 4 days before the period was expected, although there was fine print to say that this wasn't in all cases. Of all the tests I tried it was the only one that gave me a definite result so early. In the following week I tried another Asda test and got a great positive, but it just shows that many tests just don't pick up enough hormone to detect a very early pregnancy. In all cases I did hold the absorbent stick in the stream for at least 5 seconds, but the HCG levels in my wee were obviously not strong enough for the tests. It does say in the clear Blue instructions that if you do not get a word result, and have a book symbol where... Read review

Advantages: Questions for UK & N. Ireland cars & bikes,incl. hazard perception
Disadvantages: Not many!!

...to the introduction to the exam every time you decide to sit it. This takes a few minutes and can get annoying. It would be better if there was a skip option. Price I bought the two CD’s as one in WH Smiths on the 18/04/03 for £4.99. However I have noticed that some places are selling the cd’s separately and for about £10, so shop around!! Overall opinion Both CD’s are extremely useful. I myself am currently studying so hopefully I’ll pass first time!!! Update on 18/07/03 I have just sat the DVLA Theory Test and I passed!! I wanted to inform everyone of how similiar the Focus - Driving Test Success CD Roms were to the actual exam. Some questions were exactly the same, word for word, and the layout of the buttons etc. were also exactly the same. So if you buy these CD's you will be well prepared for the exam. The Hazard Perception test is also very... Read review

Advantages: Great bowler. Great sportsman
Disadvantages: He's retired.

...and developed into one of the greatest fast bowlers of all time and in doing so gained over 130 caps whilst bowling nearly 5,000 overs. His 519 wickets were taken at an average of around 25 runs at a strike rate of under 60. Notable for his bowling, Courtney also holds two batting records. He has gained, if that is the right word, a duck against everyone one of the eight test nations and in his test career has accumulated 43 ducks in all. A veritable farmyard full. Not noted for his batting prowess, this gentle giant made many useful contributions to gain a win for the West Indies and on two occasions scored 30 runs. Cricket enthusiasts all over the world will miss Courtney Walsh and I’m sure that all cricket lovers will join me in wishing him a happy retirement from test cricket and success in whatever he chooses to do in the future...

Advantages: So similar to the real test
Disadvantages: you can never use them enough

...from the seperate possible categories and you will get a score at the end of each set. It is also possivble to do a full test which contains 35 questions and gives you a report at the end telling you whether you have passed or failed and how you scored in each category. You can look at your progress over time on a chart and at any time can check you overall score, the overall score is sepearted by category and allows the user to pick up on any weaknesses. A built in function advies you whether your ready for the test or not but this should definitly be taken with a pinch of salt. The best thing is it contains all of the official DSA questions and on doing my theory at least 25 of my 30 questions i had seen word for word on the CD, definitly a bonus. Driving test success - hazard perception This disk allows you to practice the all... Read review
