A mock that feels like the real thing
A mock test only helps if it is marked like the real one. Lesson Diary groups faults the way the DVSA does and applies the same rule — 16 driving faults or one serious — so the result means something. Run them from the driving instructor app.
Familiar groups
Manoeuvres, Junctions, Judgement and the rest — grouped the way you already think about a test.
Live pass or fail
16 driving faults or one serious ends it — the same rule as the real test, applied as you go.
Straight into the record
Every fault updates that pupil’s progress. No writing the mock up a second time.
Watch mock tests in action
Tap each fault, see a live pass or fail, and have every result feed the pupil's progress.

Mock tests, marked the DVSA way*
Grouped like the DL25. Pass or fail, live, as you tap.
-
Familiar, not another form to learn
Grouped the way you already think about a test — Manoeuvres, Junctions, Judgement, all of it — so there's nothing new to learn.
-
Pass or fail, worked out for you
Live fault tally as you go — 16 minors or a single serious fault and it's a fail, exactly like the real thing. No mental maths mid-lesson.
-
Feeds straight into their record
Every fault becomes part of the pupil's actual skill progress — no double entry, no separate spreadsheet.
How mock tests compare

- Is the mock marked like a real DVSA test?
- Yes. Faults are grouped the way the DL25 groups them and the pass mark is the same — up to 15 driving faults, no serious or dangerous faults.
- Does the result update the pupil’s progress?
- Yes. Every fault you record feeds straight into that pupil’s progress against the syllabus.
