What VicRoads tests before it gives you a learner permit
VicRoads runs Victoria's learner knowledge test, the computer-based theory test you sit to earn your learner permit. It checks that you understand road rules, signs and safe-driving behaviour before you drive. VicRoads sets the question count, the pass mark and the fee, and publishes them beside the booking steps on its own licence-test page, so read them there before you book. What you get here is free practice for that test: unlimited questions and sets grouped by licence class so you drill exactly what you need. What follows explains what each kind of set is for and how to work through them so your results come back consistently clear.
Free Victorian practice by licence class
Three kinds of practice set do three different jobs. Topic sets drill one subject at a time so you can fix a weak area. Practice tests are full-length 45-question sets, so you rehearse the whole run rather than a handful of questions. Mock tests run under test conditions so you can see whether you are ready. Car, motorbike and heavy-vehicle candidates each have their own bank here, free. On this site, car has 12 topic sets (366 questions), 9 practice tests (405 questions) and 8 mock tests (360 questions). Motorbike has 12 topic sets (549 questions), 13 practice tests (585 questions) and 8 mock tests (360 questions). Truck has 14 topic sets (365 questions), 9 practice tests (405 questions) and 8 mock tests (360 questions). Work the free sets as many times as you like. Pick the class that matches the permit you are after and start there: riders at motorbike learner practice, heavy-vehicle candidates at heavy-vehicle learner practice.
Handbook first, then the sets, then one mock
Victoria names Road to Solo Driving as the study document, so open that first and let the sets check your reading. Four moves, in this order, and the order is the part that matters.

- 1
Open Road to Solo Driving at the give-way chapter
Give way is where most of the marks sit. Read that chapter properly before you touch a practice set.
- 2
Sit one 45-question practice test cold
No revision first. The questions you miss are the subjects your week belongs to.
- 3
Drill the two subjects that cost you most
General Knowledge (82 questions), Intersections (54) and Traffic Signs (51) are the three biggest sets, so that is usually where the marks went.
- 4
One unbroken mock, then book the permit test
Sit a mock in a single run with nothing looked up. When it comes back clean, book through the VicRoads customer portal.
What the Victorian knowledge test covers
The knowledge test asks about the subjects every safe driver needs before solo driving: road signs and markings, right of way at intersections, speed limits, alcohol and drugs, fatigue, and pedestrians and other vulnerable road users. Those areas map straight onto the topic sets on this page: Traffic Signs covers signs and markings, Intersections covers right of way, General Knowledge spreads across the rules, Negligent Driving covers speed and impairment, and Pedestrians covers vulnerable road users. VicRoads names the Road to Solo Driving handbook as the study document for learner drivers, so read it alongside your practice; the handbook is the source of truth and the practice sets rehearse the recall. Focus your topic drilling where your practice-test results show the gaps rather than spreading evenly across everything. If you want the bigger picture of how the learner test fits into getting your permit, see the learner test explained. Keep practising each subject until you can answer without hesitating, because that is what carries into the real test.
Why NSW-based practice still works in Victoria
The practice bank on this site is built on the NSW Driver Knowledge Test, published by Transport for NSW. Australian road rules are largely national: the signs, the give-way rules and the safe-driving principles carry across states, so the recall you build here transfers to Victoria. What it cannot give you is Victoria's own test wording, its question count, its pass rule or its fee. VicRoads sets all of those and publishes them on its licence-test page, so read them there before you book. Treat the sets as the way to build fast, confident recall of the road rules, and VicRoads as the authority for the test itself. Northern Territory learners have their own page at northern territory. Read the VicRoads licence-test page first, because Victoria's own question count, pass mark and fee live there. Road to Solo Driving carries the rules those questions are built on.
Booking and test day in Victoria
You book your Victorian learner permit test through the VicRoads customer portal: set up or sign in to your account there and follow the booking steps. On the day, bring the identity and proof-of-residency documents VicRoads lists for the test. Its licence-test page sets out exactly what you need, so read it before you travel and nothing turns you away at the counter. Keep the focus on being ready to sit the test rather than chasing booking shortcuts: arrive early, bring the right documents, and let your practice do the work.
Hazard perception, and when you must have it done
Victoria's hazard perception test must be completed before you can take the drive test, so it is the last theory step of your learner period. It checks how you respond to developing hazards on the road rather than your recall of rules. You need a current Victorian learner permit to sit it, and VicRoads now lets you take it online or in person; it sets the scoring and the fee and publishes both on its hazard perception page. To get ready, the clip practice on this site is at hazard perception clip practice, with free clips to start and the premium practice at premium practice clips for a wider library. Clip work builds the scanning and timing habits that written questions cannot, so run it alongside your knowledge-test sets rather than leaving it to the last week. The footage is for practice only. Build the habit here; the real scenes will be new to you.
