Sources and licence
If you have revised anywhere else, the questions on this site will look familiar. They should. This page sets out exactly which part of each page comes from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency and which part we wrote.
What comes from DVSA
Theory Hub licenses the DVSA revision question bank. The licence requires the material to be reproduced unaltered, so the following appear here word for word:
- The wording of every question
- The answer options, in the order DVSA sets them
- Which option is correct
- The explanation DVSA supplies with each question
- The references to The Highway Code, Know Your Traffic Signs and the essential skills books
What we wrote
Everything else on the site is our own work and is not part of the DVSA material:
- The short note under each wrong answer explaining why it is wrong — 2,897 questions, written by us
- The topic guides at the top of each topic page
- The revision method, the hazard perception guidance and the FAQ
- The translations into Arabic, Polish, Romanian, Urdu, Persian, Turkish and Hindi
- The site itself: the practice player, the mock tests and the progress tracking
Why the questions match other sites
Every site that licenses the bank receives the same text and is required to publish it unchanged. Rewording a question would make it a different question, and would break the licence. So identical question text across revision sites is a condition of using the material properly, not a sign that one of them copied another. What differs between sites is everything built around the questions — and on this site that is the commentary, the guides and the eight languages.
