New Driving Theory Test |

Luzia Research launches new driving theory test service allowing students to practise via a mobile phone
For young people keen to pass their driving theory test, a new system using their mobile phone might be just what they're looking for and they've a chance to try it first for free.
Luzia Research, based at the Milton Keynes Enterprise Hub, has launched uHavePassed, an innovative interactive method of helping driving test candidates get to grips with the official questions, via a mobile phone.
Says managing director Alastair Briggs: "To have a good chance of passing the driving theory test means you should have practiced about 500 of the 1000 possible questions that could be in the test. The current methods for doing this practice involve sitting in front the computer and completing lost of 50 question tests. These tests take time and the repetition makes your brain disengage from learning the concepts. We wanted to provide access for students to do the tests in much smaller sessions, wherever they are so, with more mobile phones than people in the country, we hit on the idea of giving learner drivers the option to use their mobiles in an interactive way. We are also creating games to help students interact with the concepts key to the driving theory test in a different way."
The driving theory test is taken every year by about 600,000 16-20 year olds who are already having to study and work for other exams. Practice for the test is usually via software or websites where they can repeat the questions to gain confidence. From September 2007 the test got harder with students having to get 43 out of 50 questions correct and new categories of questions were introduced.
Says Mr Briggs: "The phone is better for doing small 2 minute sessions when the user has some spare time and playing games is designed to help them remember road signs and other concepts important for the test."
