Free K53 mock test
A taster of the computerised learner’s licence test: 16 questions in 15 minutes, one at a time, with the clock, the flag and the review grid you will see at the testing centre. Then your mark for each section, and every answer explained.

How the taster works
- Choose your learner’s code: 1 for motorcycles, 2 for light vehicles such as cars, or 3 for heavy vehicles.
- Answer 16 questions: 7 on rules of the road, 7 on signs, signals and markings, 2 on vehicle controls. Tap an answer to choose it; you can change it until you hand in.
- Flag a question to come back to it, and use Review to see every question on one grid.
- Hand in before the 15 minutes run out. When the clock reaches zero, the taster is handed in as it stands.
- See your mark for each section, then every question with the right answer, why, and the law or sign it comes from.
The taster and the real test
| Section | Real test | Taster |
|---|---|---|
| Rules of the road | 22 of 28 to pass | 6 of 7 to pass |
| Signs, signals and markings | 23 of 28 to pass | 6 of 7 to pass |
| Vehicle controls | 6 of 8 to pass | 2 of 2 to pass |
| Time | 60 minutes | 15 minutes |
The taster’s pass marks are the real test’s scaled down and rounded up, so passing the taster is never easier than passing the real thing. The real test’s pass marks are as testing centres state them; see the computer test.

About the taster
Is the taster the same as the real test?
It works the same way: one question at a time, three answers, a clock, a flag and a review grid, and you must pass every section. It is a quarter of the length, 16 questions in 15 minutes, and the questions are our own, written from the law, not the testing centre’s.
Can I take the taster more than once a day?
One taster a day is free in each browser. A taster you have started can always be finished, and its result stays here. For unlimited tests, there is the app.
Where are my answers kept?
Only in this browser, on this device. The site has no accounts and sends your answers nowhere.
Which questions does the taster ask?
It draws from the 125 sample questions on this site, the ones for your learner’s code: 7 on rules of the road, 7 on signs, signals and markings, 2 on vehicle controls.
