How do I book the driving knowledge test?

You book directly with your own state or territory road authority - Service NSW in NSW, VicRoads in Victoria, TMR in Queensland, or the equivalent body elsewhere - usually online, by phone, or in person at a service centre, and some let you sit the test the same day as your eligibility check. Easy Driving Test does not take bookings or act for any authority, so always start on your state government’s official website.

How much does the knowledge test cost, and how many questions are there?

The official fee, the number of questions and the pass mark are all set by each state and territory and change over time, so confirm the current figures on your road authority’s website rather than trusting a number from any third-party site. That government fee is completely separate from this site’s practice, which is free to start with an optional one-time A$9.90 upgrade - a single payment, not a subscription.

Are your practice questions the same as the real test, and can practice promise you'll pass?

No - the actual test questions are confidential and set by each authority, so nobody outside can lawfully publish them; our questions are written to reflect the official road rules and handbook so you learn the right material. No practice site can honestly promise you'll pass either, so use this practice alongside your state’s official handbook, and if the two ever seem to disagree, the handbook is correct every time.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Driving Knowledge Test

What this page is

This is a plain-English FAQ for learners sitting a driving knowledge test anywhere in Australia. We answer the questions people actually ask — booking, cost, how many questions, retakes, and whether practice really helps — honestly, and we tell you clearly when the answer depends on your state. We’re an independent study site, so wherever an official fact is involved we point you to the government body that owns it instead of guessing a figure on your behalf. If something here ever disagrees with your state handbook, the handbook wins.

Where the official facts live

Australia has no single national driving test. Each state and territory runs its own, with its own rules, fees and question counts — Service NSW in New South Wales, VicRoads in Victoria, Transport and Main Roads (TMR) in Queensland, and the equivalent bodies in South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania, the Northern Territory and the ACT. That is why so many answers below end with ’confirm with your road authority’: the figures differ by jurisdiction and change over time. Bookmark your state’s official page for the definitive word, and use this site to practise. Last verified 4 September 2026.
