The set you sit when you think you are finished
A mock is a rehearsal, not a lesson. The same length as the real test, sat in one go, with nothing looked up and the marking held back until the end. That last part is what makes it worth an evening: you find out what you know when nothing on the screen is helping you. There are 8 car mocks on this page, 45 questions each, which is 360 questions in total. Every one of them is free and there is no cap on re-sits. The test they rehearse is 45 questions, set by Transport for NSW, and it is marked in two parts: 12 of 15 general knowledge and 29 of 30 road safety, with both minimums required. It can also end before question 45, at four wrong in general knowledge or two wrong in road safety. A mock puts all of that into one sitting, which is the part a practice test cannot rehearse for you.
Rules for the sitting itself
Treat a mock the way you will treat the real test or it measures nothing useful. Sit it at the hour you have booked for, so your attention is trained for that hour rather than for a quiet Sunday afternoon.
- 1
Clear the desk, one sitting
Run all 45 questions start to finish without stopping or stepping away.
- 2
Do not look a rule up mid-set
Answer, move on, and keep the miss. That is how the real test works.
- 3
Mark it before you move on
Read the explanation for every question you got wrong, the same day.
- 4
Sit it at your booked hour
Match the time of day you have booked the real test for.
- 5
Count the two sections apart
General knowledge misses and road safety misses are not interchangeable.
The eight car mocks, numbered 1 to 8
Below are the 8 car mock tests, numbered 1 to 8. Each holds 45 questions, the same length as the real Driver Knowledge Test, and each pulls across general knowledge and road safety so the whole bank is in play rather than one corner of it. Start at Mock Test 1 if the format is new to you, because it gives you a baseline to measure the rest against. There is no difficulty ramp between the numbers, so after the first one the order is yours to choose. If the same area keeps catching you across two mocks, stop sitting mocks for a day and drill that subject on car practice instead. Then come back to a number you have not sat. Sitting the one you just failed again only proves you can remember it. Every set is free, and there is no limit on how often you re-sit one.

Read the result by section, and what to do with a fail
A mock result is really two results. Count your general knowledge misses, then count your road safety misses, because the real test needs 12 of 15 in the first and 29 of 30 in the second, and it stops early at four wrong or two wrong (Transport for NSW). A strong total with three road safety misses would have ended on the day. The mark this page sets for a mock is a practice setting, not the official pass mark. A failed mock is the cheapest information you will ever get about your own gaps, so use it properly. List the subject behind every miss. If one subject produced more than two of them, that subject is tomorrow's work on car practice rather than another mock tonight. If the misses are spread thinly across many subjects, the problem is usually pace or attention instead of knowledge, and the fix is sitting the next mock at your booked hour with the phone in another room. Either way, the next set you open should be a number you have not seen.
All eight mocks across your last week
Seven days, all eight mocks, and every one of them marked by section. Two of the days carry a pair, which is deliberate: sitting two in a day tells you whether your concentration holds for the second one, and the real test will not care that you are tired.
- 1
Day 1, mock 1 cold
Sit one mock with no revision first. Mark it by section to see where each part stands.
- 2
Day 2, mock 2 then drill
Sit the second mock, then take every miss to car practice the same evening.
- 3
Day 3, no mock at all
Subject work only, on whatever the first two mocks kept catching you on.
- 4
Day 4, mocks 3 and 4
Two sittings, morning and evening. Compare the two sets of section scores.
- 5
Day 5, mock 5
One mock, then read every miss before you close the page.
- 6
Day 6, mocks 6 and 7
Two more. By now both sections should be clearing with room to spare.
- 7
Day 7, mock 8 then rest
The last mock the day before you sit the real test, then stop revising.
If a subject is still biting, or the clips are next
When a mock keeps catching one area, the fix is one subject at a time on car practice. When you want the stamina rather than the knowledge, the 9 car practice tests give you the full length at your own pace. The Hazard Perception Test is the step after this one: 15 short videos, $58 for each attempt, with unlimited attempts, and once you pass it the driving test must be passed within 15 months (Transport for NSW). The clips are at practise the hazard clips. Every question behind these mocks comes from an NSW-based bank. The test is run by each state's own authority, Transport for NSW in New South Wales, TMR in Queensland, VicRoads in Victoria, the Department for Infrastructure and Transport in South Australia, the Department of Transport in Western Australia, and the MVR in the Northern Territory, so none of the NSW figures above should be carried across a border. If you are sitting it in the Northern Territory, see our Northern Territory page.
