Driving theory test study plan: 3 weeks to a pass
The theory test is short, but you need a high score to pass, and the hazard perception part trips up many people who only practised questions. This prompt has your todo.is agent plan daily study for your country's test, send practice questions by topic on WhatsApp and remind you to do hazard clips with official practice.
The prompt
- Make me a driving theory test study plan. I am taking the [COUNTRY AND TEST] theory test on [TEST DATE]. I can study [DAILY MINUTES] minutes a day. First check the official format and pass marks for my test with links. Plan daily study by topic, using the official rule book or highway code and official practice questions. Every day at [TIME] send me 10 practice questions on WhatsApp on that day's topic, then the answers with a one-line reason after I reply. Add hazard perception practice if my test has it, and a full mock test every 3 days in the last week. Give me a one-page PDF of road signs and stopping distances.
What to change
- [COUNTRY AND TEST]: E.g. "UK car", "UK motorcycle", "Ireland car" or "Ontario G1". The format and rules differ.
- [TEST DATE]: The date you booked.
- [DAILY MINUTES]: E.g. "30".
- [TIME]: E.g. "20:00".

- • A developing hazard makes you change speed or direction: a car pulling out, a child near the kerb, a cyclist ahead
- • Click a few times as it develops, but not constantly, or the clip scores zero
How to do it with todo.is
- Fill in your country, test type and date, then copy the prompt.
- Send it to your agent on WhatsApp, or paste it on the Today screen in todo.is.
- Each evening you get 10 questions. Reply with your answers and you get the corrections with reasons.
- Ask for "only the topics I got wrong" in the last week, and your agent switches to a review mode.
Tips for a better result
- Use the official rule book and official practice material for your country. Online quizzes can be outdated.
- Practise hazard perception on real clips, not just reading about it.
- Learn stopping distances as numbers you can picture: 23 m at 30 mph is about 6 car lengths.
- Some UK questions show a short video clip. Watch it all the way through before you answer.
