How the mock test works

The mock test is built to feel like the computerised learner’s licence test: one question at a time, a clock, and a result per section at the end.

What is in it

Each mock draws questions at random from our bank, in the same three sections as the real test, with the same pass marks:

These counts and pass marks come from the national requirements for learner’s licence tests (item 5.4). Our sources are in How the computerised learner’s test works.

The timer

You get 60 minutes. The clock is on screen. When it runs out, the test is submitted with the answers you have.

We chose 60 minutes so you practise at a steady pace. We could not find an official source for the time allowed in the real test, so do not treat our timer as the official one.

One question per screen

Tap an answer to select it. Use Next and Previous to move between questions, or tap Show all questions to jump to any question. You can change an answer any time before you submit.

Flagging

Not sure? Tap Flag for later and move on. Flagged questions are marked in the Show all questions list so you can find them again before you submit.

We do not know for certain whether the real test lets you go back or flag, so practise answering carefully the first time as well.

Submitting and the review

Tap Submit test when you are done. If some questions are unanswered, Kerbtest tells you how many first: unanswered questions count as wrong.

After you submit, you see:

• your score in each section, and whether you reached the pass mark in each
• an overall result: pass only if every section passes
• every question with your answer, the right answer, a plain explanation and the legal source, plus a Report a problem link

A high total with one section under the pass mark is still not a pass, the same as in the real test.

Your scores go to your progress page. Any question you got wrong goes into your Weak areas.

Leaving in the middle

If you close the page before submitting, that mock is not saved. Start a new one when you are ready.
