DVSA car theory test

Free theory test practice for car drivers

15 free car theory mock tests that cover the whole question bank. Each answer comes with an explanation, and your score is judged at the same standard as the real pass mark of 43 out of 50.

Free theory test practice, with the reasoning shown

There are 15 car mock tests here, each with 47 or 48 multiple-choice questions, and together they use every question in the bank once. Pick an answer and you see immediately whether it was right, with a short explanation of the rule. At the end your score is compared with a pass mark set at the same proportion as the real test, so you know where you stand. Nothing to pay and no account to create.

The questions cover what the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) examines in Great Britain: road signs, speed limits and stopping distances, junctions, motorways, vulnerable road users, vehicle safety, documents and what to do at an incident. They are revision questions written to the same topics, not the live exam paper.

How close is this to the real theory test?

Mock test on this page DVSA car theory test
Multiple-choice questions 47 or 48 50, including 3 about a short video clip
Time allowed No limit 57 minutes
Pass mark 41 or 42, the same 86% 43 out of 50
Hazard perception Not part of these tests 14 clips, 44 out of 75 to pass

A mock test is slightly shorter than the real paper, so its pass mark is scaled to the same proportion. Treat a bare pass as a warning, not a green light: at home there is no clock and no nerves.

A sensible way to use the tests

  1. Sit one test before you revise anything, to see which topics need work.
  2. Read the guide for each weak area: road signs and parking, speed limits and stopping distances or junctions and priority.
  3. Move on to a test you have not seen. Repeating the same one mostly tests your memory of it.
  4. Once you pass three unseen tests in a row, learn how hazard perception is scored and check what the theory test costs and how to book it.

The current multiple-choice format is described by GOV.UK.
