Driving Test Success 4-in1, published by Focus Multimedia<\/a> (DTS). It is available for both Android and iPhone, and costs \u00a34.99 at the time of writing. Sure, they can buy a book if they want, or use any other service of their choice, but this is the one I recommend.<\/p>\nFor many years, DTS was available as a DVD, and I used to bulk buy them from an ADI supply company and sell them on to my pupils at cost (which was much less than the retail price). However, the days of the DVD are behind us and phone apps are almost universal. I\u2019m not sure if they still do a DVD version.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m sticking my neck out here, but you can only realistically get access to the entire official<\/strong> revision question bank by paying someone some money – especially if you want a polished and reliable interface. Free apps might contain only a sample of questions from the full bank, or they don\u2019t include the correct up-to-date<\/strong> questions (someone might be using the old question bank). DTS contains every official DVSA practise question in a clean interface, and it also comes with 85 Hazard perception Test (HPT) clips, including the excellent CGI ones. You also get an electronic copy of the Highway Code, and a Road Signs app.<\/p>\nThe Theory Test app also has a voiceover feature, and it will read the questions and possible answers out loud to you. Remember that you can choose this option on your actual Theory Test if you need it, so it is a useful feature.<\/p>\n
But there is a free version<\/strong><\/p>\nYes, and it only contains a small sample of questions and no HPT. Try it, by all means. But don\u2019t think that you will pass if you just run through it a few times. It\u2019s only \u00a34.99 for the full app and HPT clips, so stop pissing around and buy it. The Theory Test costs \u00a323, so risking failing it needlessly is false economy.<\/p>\n
This is a true story. Not that long ago I had a pupil who I\u2019d advised to download DTS. He failed his Theory Test several times, and after each one I was asking him how he was doing when he used the app. He assured me he was getting 100% in every test. After the next fail – and I can\u2019t remember how many he had taken up to that point – I remember asking what app he was using. He told me it was DTS, but I asked how much he had paid for it. He replied \u201cnothing. It was free\u201d. I could have killed him – he was getting 100% by being asked the same ten or so questions every time!<\/p>\n
Does DTS do voiceover?<\/strong><\/p>\nYes. You enable it in the settings, make sure your phone\u2019s media volume is turned on\/up, and it will then read out each question and answer automatically as you do tests on it. You can ask it to repeat as necessary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
