How to use the test interface

Understanding the buttons and controls

⏭️ Skip Question

Moves to the next question without recording an answer. The skipped question is flagged and you can return to it later. Always skip rather than guess if you're unsure.

← Previous / Next →

Move freely between questions in either direction. Your selected answers are saved automatically — you can change them anytime before submitting.

⏱️ Timer Display

Always visible at the top of the screen, counting down from 30:00. The test automatically submits when the timer reaches zero, regardless of how many questions you've answered.

🌐 Language Selector

Available only at the start of the test. Once you begin, the language is fixed for the entire test. Choose carefully — Arabic, English, Urdu, or Hindi.

✅ Finish Test Button

Submits all your answers for grading. A confirmation prompt usually appears if questions are still unanswered, giving you a final chance to go back.

📊 Result Screen

Shows your score out of 35, whether you passed (22+) or failed, and is recorded automatically in the driving school's system for your file.

Frequently asked questions

About the computer test format

Yes. You can change your answer at any time before clicking "Finish Test", including after navigating to other questions and coming back. Nothing is final until you submit.
The test automatically submits when the timer reaches zero, regardless of how many questions you've answered. Any unanswered questions count as incorrect. This is why time management matters — don't spend too long on any single question.
No. The language is selected once at the start of the test and remains fixed throughout. Choose your language carefully on the welcome screen before clicking "Start Test".
Yes. All 35 questions are multiple choice with 4 options (A, B, C, D). There are no written or open-ended questions.
No advanced skills are needed. The interface uses simple touchscreen or mouse clicks to select answers and navigate with Next/Previous/Skip buttons. Staff are available to help if you're unfamiliar with the screen.
Each correct answer counts as 1 point. You need 22 out of 35 points (63%) to pass. Skipped or unanswered questions count as incorrect — there is no partial credit and no penalty beyond a simple incorrect mark.
