The essential tool for passing your driving theory test

This app is excellent - you can learn everything you need to know from scratch by doing two training sessions (about 10-15 mins each) per day in about two weeks. The classic James May humour made this an enjoyable and easy to learn experience. Two things really helped me - 1. The format of practicing questions is designed to teach you as you learn, so you can build your confidence quickly, and 2. The hazard perception examples being narrated by James after you’ve had a go helps you to identify the types of hazards in various scenarios very quickly. As a lot of people say, the questions aren’t trick ones - the content is the same as the theory test itself (although on the actual test some of the questions are phrased differently to make you think about the right answer). I’ve just walked out of the test centre and I’ve passed at my first attempt - thanks James and team!

Thank you for your feedback - and congratulations on passing your test!

Better than the other apps ( one suggestion tho)

I much prefer using this app than the others like theory 4 in 1

Granted i do wish i was able to outright purchase the app like that one allows you to because monthly payments only doesn't seem quite fair to me as id like to use this app even after passing.

One thing i would add would be a mini driving game simulator that put you in first person as the driver sitting next to the instructor you click on how you would set up the car adjustments etc like you would in the test and which pedals to press when moving forward you could steer the vehicle by rotating the phone side ways like those old school driving simulators they had for learner drivers on pc the techs there now to add it to the app so i reckon it would make a nice addition to the app i think theory 4 in 1 has it already so maybe you could as a developer try out their one and see if maybe you would like to incorporate a similar feature in your one could even add it as a VR headset feature so that your fully immersed in the driving school lesson and what the test will be like

Update i cant log into my account for this app on my other phone really frustrating as ive been unable to use the app for quite some time now with no way of being able to contact the developers

Excellent app

Clear and concise instruction. The questions and format matched the actual theory test perfectly. Well worth it, much more enjoyable than studying out of a book.

Theory Test Triumph’s

I've turned to this app twice because I couldn't pass my practical test within the two-year timeframe, mainly due to the long wait of six months between each practical test. However, this app proved invaluable, helping me pass both theory tests on my first attempt. It's updated, covering all the questions encountered on my test. The hazard perception test section offers valuable practice, including instructional videos guiding users on what to observe and when to click. I recommended this app to a friend who was also struggling to pass, and he succeeded with it too. Overall, it's the top app in its category, and I highly recommend it. Huge fan of Top Gear and James May too!

Thanks for banging out that review.

Passed first time - again!

I passed my car theory test pre covid, it had expired by the time I could afford lessons and I’m only just picking it back up. I used a different app back then, couldn’t tell you what it was. I remember thinking it was a bit clunky, but it did the job.

Scrolling through tik tok I found James May’s driving theory account and this spurred me on to give the app a go, I’m very glad I did! The app is fantastic, works as it should and the training categories are fantastic and the mock tests and hazard perception were both brilliant.

James’ attitude within the app is as you’d expect, slightly funny but of course - professional and honest. I passed first time using this for revision, I didn’t stick to the training plan and instead rinsed mock theory tests over and over again. Overall I am very pleased and I would highly recommend this app for new learners.

I passed

I passed, which was a shock as although I did revise, I didn’t do more than an hour and a half the odd day, but I started off and on last year, I didn’t rush. I found doing too much wiped my brain of all of my knowledge and progress. James made the app fun, not too serious, loads of tips, hints and games, plus I found it easy to follow even with my autism and learning difficulties. Now I’m 51, so if I can do it, so can you the reader. Just to let you know, I had about 2/3 questions from the app in my multiple choice and about 4 videos with my hazard test, the rest I’d never seen before, so revise, revise and revise, and common sense is a big thing on your real theory.

Good luck my James May app friends, you can do it.m, smash it. And a big big thank you again to James May

OXOXOXO

Lives up to expectations!

I booked my theory test about 3 weeks ago and needed a simple to use app to help me learn the ropes, I was browsing the App Store and came along this app, the reviews were amazing and given it was made by an icon of my childhood I thought I’d give it a shot. The app certainly met my expectations, it personalised a training program for me so I’d know everything in time and the resources were easy to use and understand, admittedly I did find myself questioning some of the hazard perception results I got but overall the experience was amazing. Thanks to the app, I passed my theory test first time and for that I can’t recommend it enough to anyone else looking to learn for their test!

Congratulations on passing your theory test - and you thank you for your feedback!

Very well designed app

By far the best app for prepping for your theory test. It’s very well designed, easy to use, and has all the information you need. Passed my theory test on the first try.

Revised for 10 hours the day before my test and passed with this app

Now I wouldn’t recommend only revising the day before your test, but I had got the dates mixed up and only realised the day before. I could have paid a fee to change it, but thought I may as well give it a go. I downloaded this app and revised all day. I felt like my head was going to explode and my hand was going to fall off from holding my phone but it worked and I aced the test. It’s very user friendly, and most of the questions I practiced were also in the test. The hazard perception practice was incredibly helpful and also very similar to the test itself. I would definitely recommend using this app.
