A Theory Test App That Plans Your Revision Around Your Test Date
We have rebuilt the Theory Test Passed app and website around one idea: you tell us when your test is, and every day you get a short plan that gets you ready for it.
Most theory test apps hand you a few thousand questions and leave the rest to you. That works if you are organised. Most people are not, and the usual pattern is a burst of revision in the first week, a long gap, then panic the night before. We have rebuilt the Theory Test Passed app and website to fix that, and this post walks through what changed and how to get the most out of it.
It starts with three questions
When you open the app or the website for the first time, it asks what you are learning to drive (car, motorcycle, LGV, PCV or ADI part 1), whether you want a second language under the English, and when your test is. If you have not booked yet, that is fine; you can add the date later.
The test date matters more than it looks. Everything else is paced to it, so tell it the truth even if the date feels close. A plan for 48 days out looks very different from a plan for 10.
Your Dashboard: a short plan for today
The new Dashboard shows how many days you have left, your chance of passing and how many questions you have answered. Under that sits Today's plan: usually three small tasks, such as practising a topic, watching a hazard clip and trying a mock exam. You can see what is done and what is left, and one button starts the next task.
The point is to make "what should I revise today?" a question you never have to answer yourself. Little and often beats one long session, and a plan you can finish in a lunch break is one you will actually do.
Chance of passing, and why it moves slowly
Your chance of passing goes up as you answer questions and sit mock exams. It is meant to be honest rather than flattering, so do not be put off when it starts at 0%. The quickest way to move it is a full mock exam under test conditions: 50 questions in 57 minutes for car. The Progress page keeps every mock score, so you can see whether you are actually improving or just getting used to the same questions.
A related change: answers now come in a new order each time, and questions within a topic are mixed up. If you were passing a topic by remembering that the answer is "always C", you will find out quickly. That is a good thing. The real test will not give you the same order.
Practice, hazard clips and road signs in one place
The Practice page brings everything together: mock exams, practice by topic, hazard perception clips and road signs. With full access there is also Smart practice, which picks your weakest topics first so your time goes where it is needed. Hazard perception works on a different skill from the questions, and it trips people up for different reasons, so our post on the clicking mistake that scores you zero is worth reading before you start the clips.
Revise in your language, sit the test in English
If English is not your first language, you can show a translation under every question and answer, in Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Romanian, Turkish or Welsh. English always comes first, as it does at the test centre. That order is deliberate. If you are wondering why, our post on the English and Welsh only rule explains it.
There is also a new tool for learning the English words that decide answers, which we cover in its own post.
Reminders, the weekly email and the checklist
With full access, you can switch on a daily reminder. There is also a Sunday email with your progress for the week. And before the day itself, the exam-day checklist covers what to bring and what to expect, so the only thing left to think about is the questions.
What is free and what needs full access
The free plan is clear about what it includes: one practice topic, one questions-only mock exam and three hazard clips, plus every road sign. Smart practice, daily reminders and the rest of the question bank need full access. You do not need an account to try it; your first five questions take about two minutes.
If you are just starting out and wondering how much time all this takes, our guide to how many hours to revise for the theory test is a sensible place to begin.
