Car theory test
How the car theory test works in 2026

HOW A SESSION WORKS
Ten minutes on the bus. One topic clearer.
01
Choose your category
Car, motorcycle, LGV, PCV or ADI Part 1. Your practice, mock tests and progress follow the category you pick.
02
Practise a topic
Work through a short set of questions on one topic, such as safety margins or road signs. Each answer is marked straight away.
03
Read why
After every answer you see the explanation, so a wrong answer becomes the rule you needed, not just a red cross.
04
Go where the marks are
Progress by topic highlights your weaker areas. When the topics are in place, sit a timed mock test to check you are ready.
You can start with free questions. Full access unlocks every question in every category, mock tests and hazard perception practice for £4.99, once. See what’s included.

Revision strategy
How to use mock tests properly before your theory test
Mock tests are most useful as a diagnostic, not a lottery ticket. When to start them, how to pace yourself, and what to do with every wrong answer.
