Which one to pick
The right choice depends on what you need from your practice:
- For the official question bank, use the Prometric Official Car/Bike DTT-Ireland app (€16.99, checked 18 Oct 2026). Its listing says it gives unlimited access to the Official Driver Theory Test learning material plus official sample tests, and theorytest.ie says it is the only official learning app.
- For a lot of free practice, try IrishDriving.com or Easco. IrishDriving.com says its full bank of 787 official-style questions, with explanations and unlimited timed mock exams, is free. Easco says its full bank of 807 car questions, with practice, mock tests and review, is fully free. Both are independent, not the official bank.
- For languages other than English, theorytestpractice.ie says every practice question and mock is available in English, Polish, Romanian, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Lithuanian, Bulgarian, Russian, Ukrainian, Arabic, Georgian and Urdu. drivertheory.online's site lists Polish, Lithuanian, Russian, Romanian, Brazilian Portuguese, Urdu, Arabic, French, Turkish, Spanish and Simplified Chinese. Easco's interface is available in Portuguese and Simplified Chinese, and IrishDriving.com says it offers Arabic.
- Choose L-Plate if you want answer explanations, optional AI feedback (Brendan), timed mocks, progress tracking and Queue Jumper appointment alerts. The alerts are alerts only and don't guarantee you a slot. L-Plate is independent practice, not the official question bank.
Whichever you choose, practice scores do not predict your real test result.
Competitor facts above are as stated by each provider on the check date; we have not audited their accuracy. We publish L-Plate and have a commercial interest. This is not an independent review or a scored ranking.
How to judge an additional practice app
- Try a question you find difficult, then read the explanation.
- Explain the rule in your own words and check anything unclear against an authoritative source.
- Check whether the material covers the category you need.
- Compare the access period, renewal terms and limits on the purchase screen.
- Leave untested features marked “not checked” rather than assuming they are missing.
The real test draws a random selection from a question bank based on the Rules of the Road and current legislation, as described by Citizens Information. Use practice to understand the rules rather than assuming you will meet the same questions on test day.
Where L-Plate fits
Try L-Plate practice and decide whether it helps you identify topics to revisit. A practice score is feedback on that session; it is not evidence of what your real test result will be. Compare resources on what you can actually check, not a promise of an outcome.
L-Plate is independent, not affiliated with the RSA, and not the official question bank.
