Learn your way

Same content. Pick how you take it in.

Some people want to read. Some want questions. Some need to see a sign or a set of lights. You can switch whenever you like.

01

Read it

Library

Short Highway Code cards. Tick understood, or leave it and come back.

02

Have a go

Practice

Questions in the style of the real test, with an explanation after each one. Misses go into Mistake clinic.

03

See it

Road signs

Official DfT signs as flash cards. Have a guess, then turn it over.

04

Watch it

Traffic lights

A sequence plays out and a car comes up to the lights. Pause it if you need a closer look.

05

Five minutes

Daily mix

One card, one question, one sign. Handy if you have a spare few minutes.

06

Fix it

Mistake clinic

The questions you got wrong last time, in one place, so you can go over them again.

07

Keep it

Memory MOT

Cards you already understood come back after a week, so they don’t quietly fade.

Inside the product

What it looks like

A few screens from the learner portal: cards, lights, signs, and a short mix.

Library

Library

Give yourself time to look

Have a proper scan before you decide. Rushing is how you miss things.

Understood Come back
Read it. Short cards you can tick off, or park for later.
Traffic lights

Green to amber. The car comes up to the stop line.

Watch it move. Animated lights, with a car and people crossing the stripes.
Road signs

Guess then flip

What does this sign mean?

Official Department for Transport artwork, not a sketch of the sign.

See the signs. Flash cards with the real UK sign face, then the meaning.
Got 5 minutes?

Fact

Scan, then decide

Have a proper look before you commit. That’s the whole point of this card.

Question

You are approaching amber

Stop if you can do so safely. The car is already at the line.

Sign

Flip the card

Guess the sign first, then check you had it right.

Got 5 minutes? One fact, one question, one sign.

What makes it different

A few things most theory apps skip

More than one way to learn

You don’t have to live in a question bank. Read, practise, check signs, watch lights, do a short mix, or go over mistakes.

Official signs

Road-sign revision uses Department for Transport artwork, so you’re looking at the sign you’ll see on the road.

Lights that move

Traffic lights are a short animation, not a paragraph. The car comes in when a driver would need to react, and people walk across the crossing.

Memory MOT

Mark a card understood and it comes back a week later for a quick check, rather than disappearing for good.

Mistake clinic

Wrong answers don’t just sit in a score. They collect in the clinic so you can have another go at the ones that caught you out.

Mocks with a debrief

Sit a timed paper, then see what you missed and jump back to that topic, instead of staring at a percentage.

Topics

The 14 theory test topics

The same list you’ll see on the DVSA side, written as short cards and practice questions.

  1. Alertness Stay switched on before you even start the engine.
  2. Attitude Courtesy is a safety skill, not a nicety.
  3. Safety and your vehicle A well-kept car is part of passing, and part of staying alive.
  4. Safety margins Space is time. Time is what stops a close call becoming a crash.
  5. Hazard awareness See the problem while there is still time to deal with it.
  6. Vulnerable road users The people with the least protection need the most space.
  7. Other types of vehicle Buses, lorries, bikes and trams do not move like a car.
  8. Vehicle handling Grip, gears and what to do when the car starts to slide.
  9. Motorway rules Fast roads, simple rules, no room for hesitation.
  10. Rules of the road The grammar of driving: lines, lights, junctions and limits.
  11. Road and traffic signs Circles order, triangles warn, rectangles inform.
  12. Essential documents Licence, insurance, MOT — the paperwork that keeps you legal.
  13. Incidents, accidents and emergencies First, make it safe. Then help. Then deal with the paperwork.
  14. Vehicle loading What you carry changes how the car stops, steers and rolls.
