This Transport for NSW app allows you to practice for NSW driver, rider and boating licence tests. Passing these tests is the first step towards getting a NSW driver, rider or boat licence. The tests assess your knowledge of road and waterway rules and safe driving and boating techniques. The practice tests look and operate like the real tests. You will be advised at the end if you passed or failed. The driver and rider tests have 45 questions and the boating tests have 50 questions. To prepare for your test, we recommend you read the appropriate handbook for the licence you are applying for. Our Road User Handbook, Motorcycle Rider Handbook, Heavy Vehicle Driver Handbook, Boating Handbook and Personal Watercraft Handbook are available on our website.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: NSW Practice Tests at 5.0 against Linkt's 4.5. NSW Practice Tests also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). Linkt's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (295 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NSW Practice Tests holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Linkt has 295 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Linkt's written reviews are positive against 14% of NSW Practice Tests's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Linkt ships an update every 3 weeks, NSW Practice Tests every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
