About our authors
Different perspectives
Learning, road safety and product design offer different ways to think about driving test preparation. Our authors explore how to understand the rules, plan regular practice and make safer decisions behind the wheel.
Start with a question
A clear question helps you find the right guide. Start with what you need to do next, whether that’s applying for a licence, practising a theory topic or getting ready for a practical test.
Find the original guidance
Follow links to licensing authorities, official handbooks and public datasets. Check when the guidance was issued and which licence or test it covers before applying it to your own preparation.
Read the figures in context
Read the dates, locations and definitions alongside pass rates and waiting times. Those details help you understand what each figure measures and which figures you can reasonably compare.
Build a practice routine
Start with one topic and review the questions you missed before moving on. Our practice guides explain how to fit study into your week and build up to a timed mock exam when you’re ready.
Prepare for test day
Use our guides to work out what to bring, when to arrive and what to expect on the day. Check your booking confirmation and the licensing authority’s latest instructions for your exact test, licence and location.
Check which test a guide covers
Drivings has separate UK and US libraries. Check the country, state and licence category before following a guide. Permit requirements, test formats and driving rules can differ across neighbouring jurisdictions.
Behind the product
Drivings brings lessons, practice questions and mock exams together. Our methodology explains how we build the study material, where we get published test data and how we handle corrections to our guides.
