Based on the Highway Code

As Similar To The Real Exam As Possible

UK-specific

Some sites provide a mixture of questions based on the UK Highway and questions they consider based on driving common sense. It allows them to save money. We write all our tests from scratch, and all the questions come straight from the Code.

Up-to-the-minute precision

We create our tests using the latest version of the Highway Code. We also keep track of when a new version comes out and make sure to update our questions as necessary, so you’re never answering out-of-date questions.

Feels like the real thing. Because it is.

Our tests feel just like the actual theory test because we've designed them to feel that way. We take information straight from the Highway Code and use the same structure, so you'll face a practice theory test that's as close to the real thing as it gets.


The perfect wingman for the DVSA Study Guide

The Clever Way to Get Ready

Prepare more efficiently

The Highway Code can be overwhelming, and the DVSA Theory Test Guide for Drivers is helpful. Still, it doesn’t necessarily mesh with the way that many people learn and best retain information.

Improve based on your errors

If you answer a question incorrectly, you’ll see the correct answer immediately, along with a complete, in-depth explanation. Our experts meticulously craft each explanation, so you’ll understand the justification for the right answer - every time. TopTests.co.uk is the only UK practice theory test site that provides this feature.

Re-take the most complex questions

People struggle on different sections of the test and various types of questions. Maybe you can’t remember certain fines for infractions, or perhaps your downfall is distances. TopTests.co.uk is the only UK practice test site with the Challenge Bank™, which helps you tackle those questions you answered incorrectly. It saves them and allows you to come back and keep trying until you answer them correctly.


Learn What's Ahead

Knowledgeable theory test prep to provide you with control, not conjecture

Built like the real theory test

Except for our specialized tests, all our tests contain the same number of questions and require the same passing rate as the "real thing." They're designed to familiarize you with the material and prepare you for what to expect during your DVSA theory test.

No more fear of the unknown

Our tests make every question you might face feel familiar, so you won't have that fear of the unknown that so many new drivers feel during their test. Instead, you'll feel confident.

Easier to study when it's fun

We try to make it easier to stay motivated and on track with our little compliments and suggestions. It may seem a bit daft that the website is "talking," but we wrote each phrase, so we're the ones encouraging you – we believe you can do this!


Gamification

Proof that learning can be enjoyable

The game of learning to drive

Studying for your theory test doesn't have to be repetitive in slogging through the study guide and Highway Code. Our driving tests turn it into a game, keeping your interest and knowledge retention levels up.

Play vs. study

Almost everyone would choose to play. That's why we've turned hard work into a game so that you'll want to keep playing until you've mastered all the levels. You won't even notice you're studying for your theory test.

Offline, online, on the go

Thanks to our free app, you can keep playing anywhere, including offline. If you're stuck waiting somewhere, now you can make the most of that time and take practice theory tests, just using your smartphone. The app contains all the same tests we have on the website.

What's a driving theory test in the UK?

Driving theory test definition
A theory test (also known as a driving theory test or a car theory test) is a multiple-choice exam covering traffic signs, safe driving practices, and road rules in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. The test is required to obtain a learner's permit or a provisional licence and upgrade to a full licence and periodically during the licence period. The DVSA administers the test in the UK and the DVA - in Northern Ireland. Applicants can take the theory test from their 17th birthday onwards. The test is available in English, Welsh or British sign language.

The theory test consists of two parts. First, the applicants must answer 40 multiple-choice questions based on the information in the Highway Code. Then, they'll get a hazard perception test (a video test about spotting hazards on the road). Candidates must answer 35 out of 40 multiple-choice questions correctly to pass the first part (there is a time limit of 45 minutes). The theory test differs from the practical driving test. It tests knowledge of the Highway Code, a set of principles for safe driving rather than driving skills.

How to get the UK driving licence?

UK driving licence
It costs £34 to apply for a provisional driving licence if applying online, or £43 if applying by post. You can pay by MasterCard, Visa, Electron, Maestro or Delta debit or credit card. The DVSA allows you to apply for a provisional driving licence when you're 15 years and nine months old. You'll need to pass your theory test (remember to book online or in person). To complete your application, you will need a valid UK biometric passport or another identity document. You'll also be required to provide your National Insurance card and the addresses you've lived at over the last three years. It usually takes from one to three weeks for your provisional licence to arrive.

Me and my sister passed our theory test today first try! I got 45/50 on multiple choice and 57/75 on hazard perception (hazard awareness). The only thing we used to revise was this website. Revised two days before and still managed a decent score. Highly recommend learners to do all 12 mock tests as it helps a lot.

Just sat the theory test 2 days ago and passed. Suprised how many questions that came up were from this site, the only difference they are worded just slightly different, like literally one or two words! It's all just about the practice and repetition, do that and you will breeze through the test!

TopTests literally saved me from failing. With this site I was able to practice the last 2 days before the test and pass first time with 49/50. I seriously recommend this site, saved me big time!

Passed my theory test largely thanks to learning through these tests rather than the DVSA app, which just tells you whether you pass or fail the mock test rather than telling you why answers are wrong. Definitely recommend this for anyone preparing to take their theory anytime soon.

I'm nearly 55 so when I failed my theory test first time I was gutted and I blamed myself for leaving it so late but because of this site I'm happy to say I passed on my 2nd attempt. For Theory test I got 46 out of 50 and hazard perception I got 63 out of 75. That's an excellent pass for an over 50s granny. Thank you so much for your help.

Highly recommend doing all tests on this site a few times, helped me pass my theory test today. I can't believe I passed, got 50 out of 50 on my theory and 61 out of 75 for my hazard perception. Owe this website a lot.
