Nothing can offer you the same learning flexibility or ease of use with comprehensive pre-study tutorials and help hint pop up including Learning on the Move to allow you to download questions onto your MP3 player, mobile phone or iPod.

2. Hazard Perception
406 Hazard Perception test simulation video clips including the 10 OFFICIAL DSA test sample clips and test introduction video providing 28 properly balance, unique test simulations.

Interactive tutorials about the UK sign system plus 3 games to make learning your traffic signs fun. Learn how our signs, signals and road markings came about then test yourself with the theory, quick fire and memory game.

Nothing in the market currently compares to the quality or the quantity of the Driving Test Complete product. Indeed it is easy to pay twice as much for half of what this product offers. So if you want to give yourself the best possible chance of passing the Theory, Hazard Perception and practical Driving Test first time then buy Driving Test Complete and put yourself in the driving seat today.

  • One to work with your study of the Highway Code or
  • One to work hand-in-hand with the early stages of your in-car driving course.
• No other product gives you such learning flexibility or ease of use. Also includes one learning quiz programme specifically for the motorcyclist theory test.
• Pre-study illustrated learning notes for each of the above learning quiz programmes with relevant extracts from the new Highway Code, our own unique supplementary notes (covers the theory needed that is not in the Highway Code) and the Motorcycle Riders the Essential Skills publication.

Exam testing module

• Six properly balanced pre-set simulated Theory Tests based on our extensive experience (as the third largest national driving school in the UK) of the most commonly occurring test questions all under realistic exam conditions.
• Unlimited randomly generated Theory Test simulations (again properly balanced with the right number of questions from each category) just as on the real test.
• Printable exam papers of randomly generated Theory Test simulations to allow you to test yourself away from the computer.

Review final revision module

Review and retesting module
