Works offline; no account, and your study data stays on your device ■ The test changed in October 2025 The knowledge test went from 10 to 50 questions. You must answer 45 correctly (90%) within 30 minutes to pass; 6 mistakes means you fail. The mock exams here follow these rules exactly. Share of test-takers who passed under the new rules, nationwide (Oct–Dec 2025): knowledge test 42.8%, skill test 13.1%. Source: National Police Agency figures, as reported in the press. ■ Every question has a source Questions are based on the National Police Agency's Rules for Road Use (「交通の方法に関する教則」, National Public Safety Commission Notice No. 3). Each question shows the chapter and section it is based on, quoting the original text word for word. If you doubt an answer, you can check it yourself. ■ Driving test preparation Based on the original text of National Police Agency directives (foreign licence handling guidelines, driving skill test standards, scoring standard), the app covers the list of test tasks, actions that end the test on the spot, the deduction table, 106 scenario questions, the flow of test day, and information on test centres in 7 prefectures. The task list and 2 scenario questions are viewable without buying. We make no promise about your test result. ■ Study plan Enter your test date to see the days left and a daily question target. Optional daily reminder at a set time. ■ If you fail 4 steps to take after failing the knowledge test, practice on just the questions you missed, and your last 3 mock exam scores. ■ Booking guide How to book, with links to the official pages, for 7 prefectures: Tokyo, Kanagawa, Saitama, Chiba, Aichi, Osaka and Fukuoka. Waiting times are quoted as the official pages state them; we add no figures of our own. ■ Find out if you need to take the tests Choose the country that issued your licence to see whether you need the knowledge and skill tests. 29 countries and regions are exempt; for the United States it depends on the state. ■ Full-Licence Written Test Pack (sold separately) For the full-licence written test, after driving school or as a walk-in test (not the gaimen kirikae knowledge test). 5 real-format mock exams (90 text + 5 illustration questions, 100 points, pass with 90+, 50 min, pause and resume), 30 hazard-prediction illustration scenes (3 questions each; 2 points only if all 3 correct), easy-to-miss questions, 8 languages. Every explanation cites the rulebook 「交通の方法に関する教則」. Illustrations are original, not real test questions. Not included in the All-chapters unlock, Practical Test Pack or set. Some questions can be tried without buying. --- Source: National Police Agency website This app edits and adapts materials published by the National Police Agency.
