Free mock theory test
50 questions, 57 minutes on the clock, marked at 43 out of 50 — the same shape as the real thing. Sit one cold today and you will know within an hour which topics are costing you the test.
Mock test 1
A full 50-question paper spread across every category, timed at 57 minutes and marked at 43 out of 50.
Start now →Mock test 2
A second paper with different questions. Sit this one a few days after the first to see what actually stuck.
Start now →Random questions
A shuffled run through the whole bank with no clock. Good for a quick session on the bus.

Most learners use mocks as a comfort blanket: they sit the same paper repeatedly, learn the answers by position rather than by rule, and walk into the test centre with a false sense of where they are. The point of a mock is diagnosis. Sit it once, cold, with the clock running and your phone in another room, and treat the result as a map of what you do not know yet.
Write down every category you dropped a mark in. Then go and read the Highway Code section behind it — our Highway Code hub summarises each area in plain English — before you answer another question on that topic. Reading the rule fixes the whole family of questions the DVSA can build from it. Re-answering the same question fixes one.
Come back to a full mock three or four days later. If your score has moved and it moved in the categories you revised, the method is working. If it moved randomly, you are guessing well rather than learning, and that will not survive the pressure of a real test centre.
Get the timing right
Fifty-seven minutes for 50 questions is a little over a minute each, which is generous. Almost nobody fails the theory test on time. What does happen is that people rush the first ten questions because they are nervous, then spend the saved time second-guessing answers they had right the first time.
Flag anything you are unsure of and move on. The test lets you review flagged questions at the end, and coming back with fresh eyes beats staring at the same four options for three minutes. Practising that habit in a mock is the point: the exam technique matters nearly as much as the knowledge.
Do not forget the other half
The multiple-choice section is only half the test. Hazard perception is 14 clips with 15 scoreable developing hazards and a pass mark of 44 out of 75, and you have to pass both parts in the same sitting. Plenty of learners score 48 on the questions and still fail because they treated the clips as an afterthought. Read the hazard perception guide before your test date.
Mock test FAQs
How closely does this mock match the real theory test?
The format matches: 50 multiple-choice questions, a 57-minute limit and a 43 out of 50 pass mark. The questions are written in the DVSA style from the same topics, but the DVSA does not publish its live bank, so treat a good mock score as evidence you understand the rules rather than a guarantee.
What score should I be getting before I book?
Aim for 47 or better across several mocks taken on different days, not one lucky run. Seven wrong answers is your whole margin in the real test, and nerves on the day usually cost a couple of marks.
Does the mock include hazard perception?
No. Hazard perception uses licensed DVSA video clips that cannot be reproduced here. Our hazard perception guide explains the scoring window, why click-spamming zeroes a clip and how to practise properly before the real thing.
Can I retake the mock?
As many times as you like, free. Questions are shuffled each attempt. If you keep landing in the same category, use the topic practice to drill it rather than re-running the whole mock.
Do I need an account?
No. Everything is free to use straight away. Creating an account only adds progress tracking, streaks and badges so you can see which categories are improving.
