2025 Mock Driving Theory Test

This mock theory test for UK learner drivers was designed to prepare you for the actual DVSA test. The format of the questions and the scoring system are the same. You need to answer 43 out of 50 multiple-choice questions correctly to pass. While the DVSA test features a 57-minute time limit, we did not include that here. We believe you're here to practise your skills, to remember the correct answers, and to get familiar with the exam format. If you do not know the correct answer to a question, use the hint (there is one for each question). You can retake our tests as many times as you need to; questions and answers are randomised every time you restart the test. Good luck!
