I hear that many of the members in this forum has all 48 golds in the licence test. Any chance someone might want to write up a guide for those of us only getting silver and bronze??? Insiders trick. Watching the demo helps but if theres any extra guidence, would be greatly appreciated!!!
 
i'd say you either have the skill or you don't .......but it's still a really hard thing to do; especially all gold on the Super license
 
Practice man, practice!

You should run the test until you:
a) get gold, or
b) know where you're losing time, and persevere on having an error-free run

I don't know if that helps.

I reckon in GT3 it's harder to get silver than in either of GT1 or GT2. So getting silvers in GT3 is still quite good :)
 
Well I'm getting quite a few silvers, but after getting my s-licence with all bronze, I need a new challenge. A few guys in the forum has mentioned that they can get all gold, so have all gold. Its neat to know what they have to say about it. Maybe it could help the rest of us who are still stuck with the silver.
 
I started working on all golds on the B license last night. Got all but three of them. I am convienced now that some of them are impossible to get. :) Everyone that says they have them are LIARS....LIARS, I SAY! :) :)
 
All golds is possible.........but only if you're commited. You can't really give out a real strategy for getting all golds, as it depends more on skill. But here are a few general tips anyway:

1) Be patient. You'll never get all golds by attempting each test for only about 15 minutes at a time. Some tests may literally take you over an hour to finally get gold on, so its not a quick process.

2) Study the demo. I recommend changing to the view that you will be driving from (1st person or 3rd person). Turn on the throttle, speed, and turning meters so you can see where the demo car breaks, turns in, begins accelarating, and what speed the car is traveling at a particular portion of the test. You can even try pretending that you're driving the demo car. Then you can see what the demo car is doing different from what you are doing and adjust accordingly.

3) Use the ghost car. This way you can improve on what portions of the test you make errors on. You don't have to immediately start the test over if you fall behind your ghost car because you may be able to make up time later. However, its probably best to start over on short tests or tests where its vital to keep your speed up. Turn the ghost off for a while if you find it is causing a distraction, but turn it back on if you see that your lap times aren't improving w/o it.

4) NEVER scrape walls, slide around corners, or have to make any major countersteering adjustments. Even though it may seem like you scraped the wall lightly, doing these almost all the time ruin a chance at getting gold.

5) Take breaks. Its probably best not to sit down and attempt a test for 2 straight hours. Take some breaks in between sessions. Go fix a sandwich, go outside and get some fresh air, or go walk the dog. This also helps to eliminate frustration. You are pretty much guaranteed to NOT get gold if you keep trying while frustrated, and it only worsens when you can't better your lap times. Remember, frustration tends to make sloppy drivers ;) Frustration can lead to you suddenly turning the PS2 off in an outrage, causing you to lose any data or having to redo other license tests that you worked oh-so hard on for 2 hours to finally get gold on. This can lead to more frustration, like damaging the PS2 or TV, furniture, or other humans. This can lead to trouble with parents or other relatives, which in turn can lead to (I think you get the point ;))
 
I agree with Fury 100%. I have had the game for about 2 weeks now and have all golds in the first 2 licenses. It takes tons of perserverence and time. Sometimes you get so frustrated that you cant get a turn just right and no matter how long you play it, you cant do it. I have found that if you just take a break and come back, it usually always works to your advantage. Some tests are easy, others will take an hour or so to pass. Just take you time and be patient.

I've been working on a web site dedicated to gold. There are quite a few resources there, plus links to a lot more. It's only a couple months old and I have a lot more to do on it but it might help a bit. Post some feedback on the site if you have suggestions...I'm open to whatever helps.

FuryX21...excellent advice! Can I post that on my site? You'll have a by-line of course.

It's at http://www.goldjunkies.com

Got a GameShark2 or Action Replay 2? If so, do it that way! However, you will still have to get one gold per licence to get the prize car. But hey, now you just havte to get 6 golds total! :D :p ;) :)
 
Fury...thanks, I'll post it in the next couple days. I'll let you know.

AWD...nice effort but you'll have to come up with some a little more clever than that.
 
the best tip i can give for getting all gold is keep going and dont give up ! it will come ;)
when i was on my licenses which was last summer i had a good rythm when doing the mini licences i would pick a couple of sections namely at the end of rumble strips and tyre walls and if my speed and time didn't match the demo's time i would restart and keep doing this until i was on time or faster , it works i tell you anyway i used this method as i did on gt1 and 2 and i've not dropped a gold yet , i find that olr and events you can take part in and the competition against you can make the licences look pretty tame and easy , but i suppose its easier to say it after the fact :p good luck guys just dont give in the key word is ~PERSISTANCE~ :cool:

btw i posted this when i completed thought i'd bump it again :lol: :smilewink
