Is this NSW DKT practice test free?

Yes. Ten questions a set, drawn from the 220 free questions in the NSW Learner bank, as many sets as you like, no account and no email. NSW Learner Pro unlocks all 1,177 for A$14.99, paid once.

Are these the real DKT questions?

No. They are written by the NSW Learner team from the NSW road rules, in the same style and topics as the test, and each explanation names the rule it comes from.

How do I know if I am ready for the real test?

Aim for near perfect scores on road safety questions, because the real section asks for 29 of 30. The NSW Learner app tracks your recent scores per topic and turns your L plate green when you are at pass level.
