Find your starting point in five minutes
The readiness check asks twelve questions drawn from across the syllabus. It is not a pass prediction — it is a way of finding out what you already know so you do not waste evenings revising it again.
At the end you get:
- Your current starting level
- The topics you are already strong on
- The subjects that need revision first
- A recommended first lesson
- A suggested study-plan length
Your result is an estimate based on twelve questions. It cannot predict or guarantee what will happen in your real test.
How the check works
- Answer twelve mixed questions. No timer, no score pressure.
- Rate your confidence. A confident wrong answer matters more than an unsure one.
- Get a topic map. Strong, developing and not-yet-started.
- Start your first lesson. Chosen from your weakest area.
Choose how to study
There is no fixed route. Work through the lessons, drill a weak area, or test yourself under exam conditions — whatever fits the time you have today.

What the car theory test involves
The theory test has two parts and you must pass both on the same visit. If you pass one part and fail the other, you have to take the whole test again.
