Driving Test Success Theory Test Apps

We’re proud to announce that our Apps were recently featured in the Freewheel supplement of the Sunday Telegraph. 

If you haven’t downloaded them yet our Theory Test App contains EVERY question and answer from the DSA’s question bank (that’s all the questions that you’ll be asked in your exam) and the Hazard Perception App allows you to practise and develop your hazard perception skills in readiness for the second part of the test.

The pass rate for the driving Theory Test is at its lowest in five years because learner car drivers aren’t preparing properly, new research has found. Learners who fail are wasting around £16.7 MILLION a year on extra tests, costing £31 a time.

To help learner drivers revise thoroughly and save money by achieving a first time pass, Focus Multimedia today unveiled two new Apps for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad; Theory Test – Driving Test Success and Hazard Perception – Driving Test Success.

Learner drivers must pass the two-part Theory Test before they can attempt the Practical Driving Test and earn their full driving licence. The Theory Test consists of a multiple choice module containing case studies and a Hazard Perception module where learners must detect developing hazards in video clips.

Focus Multimedia, a leading publisher of revision aids for learner drivers, conducted its research using official Government documents from the Driving Standards Agency (DSA). Focus found that:

• Around 1.5 million car Theory Tests were attempted in 2009/10. *
• Almost 4 in 10 tests (36%) resulted in a fail – an annual increase of 1% and the lowest pass rate on record since 2004/05.

Whilst it is true that the pass rate has gone down slightly, this is not because the test is getting harder. The Theory Test is no more difficult now than it was when it began in 1996. Along with other factors, what is more likely the case is that candidates are coming to the test less well prepared.

Focus Multimedia’s findings prove there is a pressing need for learner drivers to study every one of the 960+ questions they could be asked in their Theory Test.

“Preparation is the key, and if you spend enough time revising from a trusted study aid then you will gain the knowledge and confidence you need to pass your Theory Test first time,” explained Grant Hughes, Business Development Director for Focus Multimedia.

He added: “If you haven’t put in hours of practice using a reliable resource then you’re throwing your Theory Test fee down the drain. It seems crazy to waste £31 of your hard-earned money when you can now buy a high quality Theory Test revision aid for less than £2.”

Theory Test – Driving Test Success and Hazard Perception – Driving Test Success are available to buy now from the App Store. They cover both parts of the UK Theory Test and allow learners from Great Britain and Northern Ireland to study on the go.

Theory Test – Driving Test Success contains every question and answer from the official DSA question bank. With a modern interface, easy to understand explanations, practice sessions, a progress monitor and the official DSA sample case study, it’s a highly effective way of preparing for the multiple choice element of the Theory Test.

Hazard Perception – Driving Test Success prepares learners for part two of their Theory Test. Simulating the official DSA Hazard Perception Test, this App helps learners gain the confidence and experience they need to pass first time. The App is also suitable for motorcyclists, driving instructors and bus and lorry drivers.

The Driving Test Success Apps have been produced for Focus Multimedia by Appyness Ltd. They are available now on the App Store with a suggested retail price of £1.79 each including VAT. Simply search for “Driving Test Success”.
