Why learners stay

Why learners choose Driver Knowledge Test

  • The real test format

    Question counts, the sections and the pass mark follow the official test, not a quiz app.

  • A reason under every answer

    Each answer carries a plain-English explanation, so you learn the rule and not the letter.

  • A fresh set every time

    Questions are shuffled on every attempt, so you cannot memorise the order instead of the rule.

  • Your weak topics, named

    Scores come back by section, so you know exactly what to practise next.

  • Untimed first, then timed

    Practise with no clock while you learn, then switch to real test conditions.

Free practice for the Driver Knowledge Test is here for three licence classes — car, motorbike and truck — plus a hazard-perception clip app and a saved-progress account.

When you want your weak topics and clip progress remembered between sittings, create an account. Begin with a full practice test for car below, or choose your licence class further down the page.

What the Driver Knowledge Test actually is

The Driver Knowledge Test is 45 questions, per Transport for NSW (2026). To pass you need both section minimums: 12 of 15 in general knowledge AND 29 of 30 in road safety — so 41 of 45 overall is necessary but not sufficient. The test ends immediately if you get 4 wrong in general knowledge or 2 wrong in road safety. In person you can sit it from 16 years of age at $58 each attempt. Online you may enrol from 15 years and 11 months, with the learner licence application itself waiting until 16; the online option is an interactive 4–6 hour self-paced course plus a final test, costing $58 for unlimited attempts, and a failed final test can be retaken after 12 hours.

Pick the licence class you are sitting for. Each stream has its own free practice on this site — topic sets to drill a weakness, full-length practice tests, and mock tests sat in one unbroken run. The real test is 45 questions set by Transport for NSW across every class; the heavy vehicle test comes in two versions, rigid (LR, MR, HR) and combination (HC, MC).

The second test: hazard perception

After the knowledge test comes the Hazard Perception Test — 15 short video clips, per Transport for NSW, at $58 each attempt with unlimited attempts. Once you pass it you must pass your Driving Test within 15 months for the result to stand. Our clip app at hazard perception clips opens with free clips so you can learn how the timing works, then premium practice clips for members who want to drill further before test day. The clips show the kind of real-road situations the test asks you to spot — merging traffic, pedestrians stepping out, a car braking ahead — and you respond by tapping when it is safe to act. Work through the free clips first, then open the premium practice once your scores on the free ones are steady.

If you are sitting it outside NSW

Our question bank is NSW-based and shared across this site, so the questions follow NSW rules. The test itself is run by your own state's authority, and the question count, pass mark and fee are set by them — never apply an NSW figure to another state. In Queensland it is TMR; in Victoria, VicRoads; in South Australia, the Department for Infrastructure and Transport; in Western Australia, the Department of Transport; in the Northern Territory, the MVR. For NT-specific guidance, see our Northern Territory page. Confirm the current figures with your own authority before you book.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Driver Knowledge Test?
The Driver Knowledge Test is the computer-based knowledge test you pass to get a NSW learner licence, set by Transport for NSW. It has 45 questions covering general knowledge and road safety, drawn from the Road User Handbook. Passing it is the first licensing step before the hazard perception and driving tests.
How many questions are on the DKT?
The Driver Knowledge Test has 45 questions, per Transport for NSW. They split into two sections — general knowledge and road safety — and both have their own minimum you must reach. Practise full 45-question sets here so the format is familiar before you sit the real test.
What is the DKT pass mark in NSW?
You need 12 of 15 in general knowledge AND 29 of 30 in road safety — both section minimums, per Transport for NSW. The test also ends immediately if you get 4 wrong in general knowledge or 2 wrong in road safety, so a clean road-safety run matters most.
How much does the DKT cost?
The Driver Knowledge Test is $58 each attempt in person, and $58 for unlimited attempts if you do it online, per the Transport for NSW fees page (effective 1 July 2026). Confirm the current fee with Transport for NSW before you book, as fees change.
Can I do the DKT online?
Yes. The online Driver Knowledge Test is an interactive 4–6 hour self-paced course followed by a final test, per Transport for NSW. One fee covers unlimited attempts, and if you fail the final test you can retake it after 12 hours. You still apply for the licence itself from 16.
How old do I have to be to sit the DKT?
You can sit the Driver Knowledge Test in person from 16 years of age, per Transport for NSW. For the online option you may enrol from 15 years and 11 months, but the learner licence application itself still waits until you turn 16.
Are these practice tests free?
Yes — the free practice sets need no account. You can sit full car, motorbike and truck practice tests and see your score without signing up. An account only becomes useful when you want your scores and weak topics saved between sittings, or want members' premium practice.
Do I need an account?
No account is needed for the free practice sets. You only create one to save your progress — your scores, your weak topics and your hazard-perception clip progress carried between sittings — and to use members' premium practice and the full course.
